Fw: A couple of questions

[Lori Timmermann]

Hello all,

Below you will find Travis' response to a question I sent asking about whether I should be socializing with First Congregational Church possible donations in addition to the $5 per assessment completed and $100 per 100 assessments completed. NSL is not providing donations for weatherization work, but rather has changed the model to be donation per assessment and per every 100 assessments. There are no purchases required. This model also gets the nonprofit the money in a more expedited fashion compared to the previous version.

 

Also, Travis and I had socialized using the green bill stuffers to help promote the workshop on November 13th. He is willing to print stickers for us and I'll add them to some of the 2000 extra bill stuffers for distribution in person in the next week and a half. We will have these ready after Thursday night's meeting and I can drop them off at your home if needed. I also believe that adding a sticker may be a way for a nonprofit to still use the green bill stuffers and make the nonprofit web address available.

 

Best regards,

Lori

First, I am well.  We are going with the $5 per assessment completed and $100 for every 100 assessments completed.  There is no donation for weatherization work.  Given our historical data, we determined that the $5 per assessment completed was nearly the same as our previous contribution model that required weatherization work.  I also feel that this system is more appropriate since it does not require that anybody spend money, given that the assessments don't cost anything.  

As for the green fliers being used, I think that putting on a sticker with the date/time/location of the Nov. 13 meeting is great.  If we can verify the space available (specific size- would a 1" x 2 5/8" fit?) that will be great.  Once we have a size, I'll find labels and print them.  From there, I can bring them to our Thursday meeting and we can start having people distributing them.  

Best,

Travis Estes

Hi Travis,

I hope you are well. I wanted to let you know that the newsletter entry regarding the nonprofit program has been in the First Congregational Church newsletter for two weeks now. I am looking forward to hosting the coffee hour on Nov 13th with you. I had a question for you on the donation the church will receive - you and I had discussed the $5 donation for each completed assessment and $100 for each 100 completed assessments. Please confirm that this is the approach we are using (and clarify if I should also be socializing any donation for completed weatherization work). Thanks!

 

Also, at some point in our brainstorming, you and I had discussed using stickers on some of the extra green bill stuffers to advertise the workshop on the 13th (and other events in the future). Is this an option? If you are able to get me stickers, I'd be glad to put them on a pile of bill stuffers. Possibly then a group of us can hand out at local businesses to distribute (hardware store, Shaws, etc.) Let me know.

 

Best regards,

Lori
