Promising Partnerships

New organizations often depend on valuable partnerships with existing organizations. While I often talk about fundraising goals, new organizations also often participate in grassroots marketing efforts. Recently, Reach was selected to participate in Capital Cause's "To DC, With Love Festival" from 4pm - 9pm on July 31st. This exciting event is designed as a fun street festival that allows DC's young professional community to learn about a select group of local nonprofit organizations. We'll have a booth at the event, so come by and say hello!

Cost: $20
DJ, LIVE MUSIC, ART SHOW
Activities: Henna Tattoos, Yoga Demonstrations, and Other Interactive Activities
Food: Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Grilled Chicken, Baked Beans, Green Beans, Desserts,

Over 50% of Proceeds Benefit the Following Nonprofits*:

*The remainder of funds go towards supporting Capital Cause efforts to plan affordable fundraisers for young professionals and to fund educational grants.
