From the Auction Fundraising Team

Early on (3 years ago), we recognized the need to focus on the broader questions of how Judson can move off the immediacy of fundraising to a more strategic approach to generating revenue. Each year, however, the urgency and details of putting on the fundraiser consumed our time leaving us little or no energy to address the bigger question. At the end of this year’s auction, all members of the Auction fundraising team individually decided to discontinue their involvement in the annual fundraiser. Over the next 12-18 months, we are going to try to develop a revenue plan that will hopefully put some structure to our approach to generating revenue. This shift in our focus presents a great opportunity for anyone who wants to lead or be a part of the annual fundraiser, a vital Judson revenue source. There is a fundraising project plan, documents, timelines, auction platform, etc., already to be implemented if the next group wants to utilize what’s in place. Or they can create their own or take a completely different fundraising approach. For questions about either the Revenue Planning Group or being Involved in next year’s fundraiser, contact Doug Harvey. 612-220-3521

==================================================

Meals on Wheels - Did you know that we serve frozen meals to over 75 clients every week? We deliver those meals in handled paper bags, so, we always need HANDLED paper bags. If you have anything to donate, please drop off at Judson Church, 4101 Harriet Ave S. There is a yellow covered bin by the red door where paper bags can be placed anytime. Thank you!
