Description:

Private sources of funds include member or donor campaigns to well-crafted sponsorship plans that support overall main street enhancement efforts. While bringing in needed financial support, they are also an opportunity for supporters to contribute to something they believe in. This session will include examples of how communities are continuing to engage supporters through "old school" telethons to small engagement activities to keep in people's minds to continued business support campaigns.
