CBHC Recieves Community Memorial Foundation Fundraising Award
More than $625,000 in new dollars have been raised by 14 community non-profits as a result of Community Memorial Foundation’s 2007 Annual Fund achievement awards.
These organizations were recognized at a reception on February 20th at the Butterfield Country Club in Oakbrook. These fourteen agencies were challenged by the Foundation to raise new or increased contributions from individual donors. Agency staff and board members were invited to participate in six workshops that outlined successful strategies for fundraising from individuals. Those who met the challenge received a matching grant of up to $10,000. A total of over $625,000 new dollars has been invested into community non-profits as a result of this program.
