Latest Fundraising information

Fundraising guidelines | May 2007 letter | January 2007 letter | Gift Aid | Renewal Project Standing Order

Our Renewal Project fundraising for the Building project is underway. Below is a plan of how the fundraising could pan out in coming months. Please bear in mind that events may change!

If everyone engages and gives it their best shot, not just by donating money, but by supporting, promoting, owning individual events and just generally inviting people along to things and generating excitement about what’s happening, the target is reachable.

Where some ideas are in their raw state, we’d like people to step in and say: ‘I know how we can make this happen!’ or ‘I don’t think that’s going to work, but here’s how it will!’

Totally off-the-wall idea that needs developing: Paper clip trade-up

Did you hear about the guy who swapped a paper clip for a house? Read about it here: http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/

Kyle MacDonald traded one red paperclip for a house. He started with one red paperclip on July 12 2005, traded up to a tie pin, then the tie pin for a badge, and so on – 14 trades later, on July 12, 2006 he traded with the Town of Kipling Saskatchewan for a house located at 503 Main Street.

How can we make something like this happen for us?
