$25/mo = 218 to 449 donors ($300/yr)
$50/mo = 109 to 225 donors ($600/yr)
$100/mo = 55 to 113 donors ($1,200/yr)

• Start by gaining pledges to get visual estimate of donors without collecting money until goal is reached

• Prominent acknowledgement within the center (donor wall)

• Regular updates on activities at the center

• Regular updates on number of individuals served

• Special invitations to community events

• Thank you letters from individuals served (high level donors)

• 1 donation unit = $10. Total donation units needed per month 544 to 1,121 based on this budget. $100 = 10 donation units
