What do you already have?

Outside support

When looking for support, remember to look inside and outside the box! Outside support comes in many shapes and forms. It could be in-kind donations such as someone donating their time and expertise, space to meet, or a local grocery store donating food, beverages, or items for a fundraiser.

Support could be agencies agreeing to send out your information to their consumers and supporters. It could come in the form of actual money, such as your local bank giving money towards your project.

Share experiences

One thing you already have is experience! Every community member has experience working on different projects. Ask people to share what they have already tried or what has already been done in the past that was successful.
