Wow! The POP Project is excited to help more people enjoy a book-filled 2019, thanks to the generosity of our donors!
Give!Local Fundraising Results
The Give!Local online fundraising program is an annual Mountain Xpress initiative that enables locals to help area nonprofits through micro-donations. POP was one of 2018’s 40 participating nonprofits, and will be receiving 100% of donations made to us through the site, free of any credit card processing fees. And we are SO thrilled by the donations you made:
Thanks to local donors, POP raised $1,017 during the 2018 Give!Local campaign!
Additional Fundraising Results for 2018
Give!Local was our main focus during the 2018 end-of-year fundraising season. However, it is never the only avenue by which donors like to give. An additional $235 was given by generous donors through our other digital and offline channels.
In total, you gave $1,252 from November 1–December 31. That was nearly 85% of our holiday fundraising goal of $1,500!
Where the Money Goes
POP’s total 2019 budget is set at $3,000. Our goal was to start the year with half that in the bank. Even though we didn’t quite meet that goal, we are so thrilled to have a generous head start toward our mission for the year.
The POP Project will allocate these funds so that our volunteer staff can focus on our mission and our passion: to provide more men, women, and children in our community with free access to books. Every dollar in POP’s budget translates to roughly $10 in books delivered to schools and head start programs, nonprofit agencies, veterans’ facilities, food pantries, public Little Free Libraries, and detention centers in Asheville and surrounding areas.
Here’s to a community-driven 2019. Cheers!
