Bad Economy for Donations?

As our economy declines, local charities struggle to receive donations.  Local business/citizens want to donate but simply don’t have the extra cash to spare.  We need to be creative.

Ask your local business partners to use GiveBackAmerica.org and choose your organization as the beneficiary!

Look at the everyday things a local business does that could DIRECTLY benefit your organization.

1)  Order office supplies online
2)  Book company travel online
3)  Network with other local business

Ask your local businesses/corporate sponsors to embrace your personal shopping mall.  They will be happy to know they could help your organization while going about their everyday business.   This simple effort could means thousands of extra dollars per year to local charities.
