Fundraising is one of the top priorities at MENA Music.
I must raise money to keep the project rolling. So far, I have been working as a totally unpaid volunteer. Moreover, a majority of expenses came from my pocket.
But my money is running out.
Currently, MENA Music is a NY State non-profit organization (since April 2009) and is a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas (since April 2008). So I could have received tax-deductible donations from friends of MENA Music, but donations are close to zero. You know who is your friend and who is not.
I attended the Foundation Center's fundraising seminars today. Very useful for the future.
I hope our 501(c)(3) application will be filed and approved as soon as possible. This will make it much easier to explain to potential donors how to donate to MENA Music. (Fiscal sponsorship is a little complex when it comes to donation.)
