It's been a pleasantly busy week so far with everyone back from the Holiday weekend, and I've been doing A LOT of writing. And re-writing. And editing. And writing. You get the picture. On that note, It's been really productive.
I finally submitted the Dana Brown Charitable Trust grant to Peg that I've been working on for ages for SCAPE. Granted....I'm not entirely pleased with what I've written so far. The dreaded Question #7 makes me want to pull out my hair, because really there is no way I can see to really answer it. We have written and rewritten #8 to the point where I don't know what I have and have not tried before. Anyway as always, Peg's purple pen will destroy it and what will come out will be a billion times better. So for now...I'm taking a break on that.
Also, I gave Jay the iPad ask for Digital Partners, Inc. that I wrote. Again, it was a little difficult to figure out the wording on that one too. Hopefully I'm closer on target...
Still looking forward to writing to Poptions more haha.
Jay assigned me a new grant letter to write too yesterday. The Messing Family Charitable Foundation is one of my prospecting discoveries (that word makes me feel like I'm looking for gold, but that note aside...). It was a good prospect and I have drafted a letter asking them for a gift for Dancing in the Street, which I hope we get since we are a little behind financially. I gave Peg the first draft yesterday and just resubmitted a bit ago.
So now it's the waiting game....Peg has two. Jay one. So until they are returned I am the lucky social media lady. Time for Grand Center, Inc. facebook updates, blogging, and oh yes, the new Annual Appeal Total: $2,295. Still far from our $4,000 goal, but respectable considering it was a blast of primarily lapsed donors in the first place. We had a lot of returned mail and a couple people's snotty responses to the new parking situation.
That's today's weekly update blogosphere!
