Yes I agree with Michelle. I have tried raising money for non-profits before, and it is not easy unless the business benefits somehow or you know the business owner somehow - as Pat says - and they have some kind of interest in the charity or cause.…

The question is: "How do I involve local businesses in a non-profit fundraiser?" The Answeris: "Get to personally know as many local business OWNERS as you can" I mean this with all sincerity. Most of us do things (yes, even with our donations) wi…

I agree with the pp. Also, you may want to look for "any size" donations. When you ask for a specific amount, you might end up turning others away who would like to contribute, but don't want to donate $100.

Thanks for making us aware of the work of Urban Ministries. Looks like you're very close to your goal. Sounds like your need now is financial, but perhaps if I went to the website your listed, there are also in kind needs as well.

About my Business:

I started a Shaklee home business back in December but have really only began to grow my customer base since June. Shaklee is the most successful social networking-based company in the U.S. We have a 50 year history with a strong comittiment to the environment and to creating healthy families through high-quality nutrition/sports supplements, natural skin and personal care, non-toxic, biodegradable household cleaners, and air/water purifications. Total health and wellness, as well as financial independence, is the goal of my Shaklee company!

About Me:

I am 31 years old and mother of two! My son is three; my daughter is three months old. I have a B.S. in Human Services Technology and Management; I love counseling and coaching people to their highest potential. I am also a certified yoga instructor and studying to become a personal trainer. My husband is from Brazil, so South American dance, music and food are a big part of my life. I look forward to meeting and learning from other small business owners in the area, especially in the areas of health, wellness and holistic mind/body therapies.

My Ideal Customer is:

Any person who is interested in becoming more healthy and creating health in their environment (family, home, work, school). Ideally, mothers are the most instrumental figure when actively helping improve the health conditions of families and workplaces! My ideal customer is a powerful mom with a passion for health and wellness; even better if she wants to create her own financial freedom by investing in a Shaklee business!

My Ideal Referral Partner is:

Any business with a synergistic or complimentary service or product: childrens' services/products, health practitioners such as chiropracters, massage therapists, fitness/yoga instructors, coaches, moms and dads who want to create green work environments with non-toxic cleaning products, home cleaning business who want to go green, childcare providers, beauty/skin care professionals.

Green Mama New to Inside 919

I am really glad Pat Howlett put the pressure on to be more active in the 919 network. It's been on my list of things to do for the past six months! I finally personalized my profile and uploaded my picture, so now I can't be dropped from the Inside 919 crew.

As a new business owner, I am really excited about meeting other people in the area who are also working for themselves and making a difference in their world! I'm a green, happy mama with two young children and a home business. How's that… Continue

At 4:40pm on July 15, 2009, Kay Whatley of Grow And Share said…: Mary, I saw your post about renovating the Urban Ministries center. I know this is future thinking, but I'd like to talk with you about the non-profit Grow And Share. We help build Shared Gardens, including providing plants in the Spring and helping with container gardening all year. If there is space for such a thing at U.M., we'd like to help the families there build a garden next year. If you're interested, just ping me via Inside919.
