Partner in Giving Applications 2008

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 09:59:52 -0500

The time is upon us to determine the 2008 Partners in Giving for Spirit Garage. In an effort to encourage continued community support of the Spirit Garage Partners in Giving we have modified the 2008 application process. Previously we have limited the selection to two partners to make sure we could raise the necessary volunteer support for our partner organizations. This year, we will be looking for organizations that Spirit Garage has a previous history in working with and have already generated volunteer interest. By basing the process on existing volunteer support we will be able to expand our Partner Support to organizations that we already have a good relationship with, and with enough volunteer support, we will be able to increase our number of Partner Organizations. The goal of these modifications is to provide the Spirit Garage community with more opportunities to take an active role in supporting philanthropic organizations community members are passionate about.
