Membership Strategy

Project details

What we need
  • A Membership Strategy document of 2-4 pages, including analysis of the Organization’s current membership program, step-by-step guide to a new or improved program, growth goals and creative outreach strategies
Additional details

We want to develop a membership program that is deeper than socialmedia follower. We want people to feel connected to and actually be connected to the work we are doing as donors, volunteers, and promoters of our work.

What we have in place
  • We currently have lists of alumni and their parents, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have lists of donors from over the last 10 years, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,848 , allowing us to Hire a development associate to help build the program.

Our work is community work and needs a community of supporters activly engaged in the support of this work.
