[OMS_MANAGERS] ??? re: funding from Target, Freddy's, etc.

All have grants.. it’s finding the ones that will fit your need.  Some are
on-line simple initiation forms, then there are some that have a two page
instruction on what to do and when.  Grants are circular with date specific.
I find it hard to determine which type to use for our needs.. Grassroot,
progressive, responsive, Capital.. it’s at least a ¾ time job.

Greetings 

I would also welcome similar information that Angi is asking for. Our board
has just started exploring these same opportunities. 

 

Thank you and Happy Thanksging 

 

Best,

Hi OMS Friends, 

  

First, Happy Thanksgiving in a couple days!  :) 

  

Sherwood has been exploring funding opportunities and wondering of those of
you who receive funds from corporations in your area could share some info
with us. 

  

I've heard a few of you mention receiving $5,000 from Target, $2,000 from
Freddy's, etc.  If you are a Main Street that receives funding from a
corporation in your area can you please share with me the process you went
through to get that started? 

  

Was it a grant type application you filled out and submitted?  Are the funds
event sponsorship related? 

  

Any information you can provide would be much appreciated.  We have quite a
few corporations that we would like to approach and would appreciate
learning from your experiences as we move forward. 

  

Thank you, 

Angi Ford
