Online Presence and Online Gifts

In an exciting step for Reach, Inc., we have officially been placed on Razoo, an online donation website.  Unlike other online donation platforms, Razoo does not take a cut from the donations made, so Reach gets every cent!  Now is the time to provide support to Reach, Inc.  It's never been easier.  Every dollar - even a single one - helps.  Additionally, at a recent happy hour event, I learned about Global Giving, another platform for marketing and fund raising.  We continue to explore ways to get the name out there in any way possible.

Also, I was interviewed this morning by the Communications Department at Harvard's Graduate School of Education.  In the coming weeks, they plan to do a short feature about the work that I have done since graduation.  This story will be placed on the website and in the monthly newsletter, which I was told has a circulation of over 5,000.  You never know who might read the feature, so hopefully this could lead to funding and/or connections.

Finally, I had a very productive meeting with Lynsey Jeffries of Higher Achievement.  Lynsey helped us with an important connection while also providing some great ideas.  More than anything, she explained the value of relationships.  During a time when endless meetings sometimes seem fruitless, it was great to get reassurance that these relationships are important for the future of the organization.  


Thanks, as always, for reading.

Founder and President - Reach, Inc.
