FUNDRAISING PILLAR POST by Barbara Giambastini, SPR Chair

The Math on Monthly Giving

As school expenses rise, women who could benefit from a Live Your Dream Award are counting on Soroptimists now more than ever.  On average, a semester’s supply of textbooks costs $600 per year, and in a year’s time, your $50 monthly contribution makes it possible for a woman  to complete 15 credits with one less worry.  That equals dreams coming true.

Tip of the Month: Word of Mouth Marketing

For Soroptimist, word-of-mouth marketing refers to satisfied and happy members telling others about their experiences. Make sure members spread the word and can accurately and honestly tell others about what Soroptimist means to them and how it’s improved their own life.

September’s Challenge: Chose one of the following….

1. Have your Membership Chair attend your District Meeting
2. Invite me to your next committee meeting or event
3. Send me a short story on how Soroptimist has improved your life

Submit report to Amory Elizondo (spmembership@soroptimist.net) for your prize!
