We asked, and you responded with kindness and generosity! The POP Project is excited to help more people enjoy a book-filled 2020, thanks to you.
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 2019’s 45 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 $1,500 during the 2019 Give Local campaign—100% of our goal!
Additional Fundraising Results for 2019
Give Local was our main focus during the 2019 end-of-year fundraising season. However, it is never the only avenue by which donors are able to give. An additional $170 was given by generous donors through our other digital and offline channels.
In total, you gave $1,670 from November 1–December 31.
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. We met that goal and exceed it by 6%, thanks to your help! We are 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 2020. Cheers!
