Donating Your Lunch Money to SEM Link to Provide Resources to Help Us Achieve Our Mission

Any non profit organization that wants to be sustainable has to have a diversified revenue stream; SEM Link is no different. The diversity in revenue streams is necessary because in age where resources are limited grantors don't have enough resources to fund every organization that applies for funding. In addition your organization may have a great grant proposal, but your organization project may not line up with the mission of the funding organization.

Two years ago, my advisory board member Dr. LaToya Myles and I were talking about the organization's revenue that came from individuals donors. Research of philanthropic giving shows that approximately 60-80% of the funds that non-profits receive that provide the resources necessary to achieve their mission comes from financial contributions made by individuals. Therefore it was imperative for us to formalize our individual donor campaign as a part of our diverse revenue stream. We needed to provide an opportunity for any individual that was interested in supporting the organization to make a financial contribution. However, we realized that many people don't give to non profit organization's because they feel that the little bit of money they have to give isn't enough to help out a non profit. We wanted people to know that a small amount of money such as your daily lunch money (approximately $5) can truly make a difference in supporting the mission of a nonprofit organization such as SEM Link. Hence, our "Donate Your Lunch Money" Individual Donor Campaign was born.



So I invite you now to donate your lunch money to SEM Link this year. Any financial contribution you make to the organization is tax deductible. We accept donations on a year-round basis and have an easy process to donate your lunch money to SEM Link! by visiting the donate page on our website http://www.semsuccess.org/donation.html.
