Dominick shared the four-year trend of receipts for both funds for August and September.
5. Old business
a. Fundraising updates
Tyler reported that he determined the Fund is not eligible for grants from Santander, TD Bank, Chase,
Costco, St. James Credit Union, and Target. He’s waiting to hear back from Salem Five and North Shore
Bank. Tyler summarized the status of the legislation pending that would enable the committee to move
monies between the two funds. Because the October satellite shuttle and street performers have been
cancelled this year the committee will not be able to raise funds through those options. The committee
discussed other ideas, including a viral campaign to “pie a Councillor” and to hold a walkathon.
6. New business
On a motion by Lynne, seconded by Amy, the committee unanimously approved reopening the Education
Fund grant program to accept applications again. An application deadline of November 15 th was
approved, and the announcement will specify that the average grant award is $1,000. Dominick will
prepare and issue an announcement.
