I was a fundraiser for seven years in a non-profit organization. And it is very difficult to raise money for these causes. But what I like to tell you is the University of Cincinnati has what we call community connections. And we have several programs like the Gear Up Success Partnership, which assist high-risk high school students in 16 Cincinnati public schools before they reach high school, in order to educate them and make their college-bound journey successful.

They are also supporting healthy schools and families where they are placing counselors in public schools to assist them in group counseling, guidance, individuals and also programming. These types of collaborations are just so important. I would say that if you are a member of an organization, find two or three other organizations that have the same purpose in mind and collaborate with that organization. Put your power, your money together and then you can go after it together. We try to do things alone, like people have this thing where, you know, I have to do it myself.

But we need to learn how to collaborate. We need to learn how to get together with other universities like Xavier and Cincinnati State as the University of Cincinnati has done. But if you belong to a church, or even a Girl Scout troop, could be any kind of organization. Learn how to collaborate. That's how we get things done.

I want to help create funding for non-profits through my invention. It is a promotional product, a great keepsake and a fun gift, and also useful by any age group. My hope is that it can be purchased by corporate sponsors, branded (or co-branded with the charitable recipient) and then given to that group for resale/fundraising. That offers marketing value and tax advantage to the sponsor. It provides a no-cost fundraising item for the nonprofit.

It can be printed with the name of the State, City, event. sponsor, and nonprofit. Example:
An agency of the city could enroll corporate sponsors who could co-brand and provide the item for sale at city events - sharing the proceeds with a designated non-profit (different one each event). This ties corporate cause marketing to government agencies and to private entities - all for a good cause.

Does that sound useful for your city, university, fraternal organization, corporation, etc?

I would appreciate some feedback on this concept - or better ideas.
Email me at the link below for more info, thanks.
