I I I 4. Project Service - Who would this project benefit? This project will benefit the citizens of San Marcos and the surrounding communities as well as recognizing the corporate and individual donors for making this project possible. Leadership San Marcos will be acknowledged in a consistent, highly visible means for its service to the community The project also benefits the individual members of the Class of 2006 and Leadership San Marcos. Working together, the class will build lasting friendships that will promote and motivate its members to become involved citizens of San Marcos. 5. Preliminary Fundraising Strategy The Class is compiling a list of prospective donors, both corporate and individual Each prospect will be assigned to a class member relevant to the member's knowledge, friendship, personal and professional relationships with the prospect, however, more than one class member, but not more than three, will make a face-to-face request for a contribution - either cash or gift-in-kind. Conversations of the Class to date have established, for the most part, that the ask amounts for corporate gifts be greater than the ask amounts for individuals. A hierarchy of recognition is to be developed and reflected on the plaque planned for display in the foyer of the Activity Center (see item # 3) The Class fundraising strategy includes selling tickets for a raffle with numerous prizes available to win. This broad sweep will capture smaller gifts from a large number of donors and will heighten the awareness of LSM and this year's project. Monies from the sale of tickets will serve as the Class' contribution to the project. Donor packets to be presented to major corporate and individual prospects will include brochures or flyers that describe the history and goal of Leadership San Marcos, and in particular, the project goal of the Class of 2006 A description of the project complete with detailed budget, a roster of the members of the Class of 2006, an updated list of any donors to date, along with business cards of the individuals making the face-to-face visit will be included in the packet.
