Why is the required donation set at $1,000?
We believe this amount ensures member commitment. It also keeps the cost of raising money for our grants low. To raise $100,000 through individual donations of $100 each would mean recruiting 1,000 members. It costs more to recruit 1,000 people than it does 100. These higher costs would mean less money for the people who need it most the grant recipients and the people they serve.
