STELLAR is launching its first feasibility study in Wyoming, the “Equality State,” on behalf of the Campbell County Economic Development Corporation.  The region around Gillette, WY, is rich in mineral deposits such as low-sulfur coal, oil reserves, and natural gas.

According to Executive Director Ruth Benson, the recent fast paced economic growth requires stronger workforce recruitment and training, focused marketing, and increased housing options.  STELLAR is assessing support for an ambitious nine point ED initiative budgeted at $2.5 Million, a 50+% increase over the previous program.

STELLAR and ROImetrix Working Together to Make Your Campaign a Success!

As the time to begin planning your next funding campaign draws near, your friends here at STELLAR Fundraising Executives, Inc. (STELLAR) strongly suggest you consider developing an ROI Report Card that will effectively answer investor questions like, “What did you accomplish with my money last time?”  An ROI Report Card from STELLAR's partner ROImetrix will provide the objective credibility needed to properly set the stage for a more productive fundraising feasibility study and better campaign results.  An ROI Report Card not only demonstrates the true value of your efforts, but provides valuable insight into the whys and how's of your results.  Much more than an “economic impact study” generated by some obscure software program, ROImetrix’s ROI Report Card will:

• Demonstrate the tangible effects of your program
• Benchmark your results with other similar organizations
• Provide an independent and 3rd party objective analysis of your outcomes
• Establish strong credibility and give you the rationale for a new round of funding and/or increased funding
• Definitively answer “What did your organization accomplish with my money?”

ROImetrix has created a special package for STELLAR clients.  Each report concludes with a personal presentation of your results by Tom Ralser, a veteran of hundreds of ROI presentations and the Founder of ROImetrix.com.  Tom’s ROI Report Cards have already helped dozens of STELLAR clients justify “going back to the well” and this has helped them raise more money than ever before!

Contact Tom via e-mail at TomR@ROImetrix.com for more information and please copy us here at STELLAR at info@stellarfundraising.com or call us directly toll-free at 888-897-4667 if you are more comfortable doing so.

All of us here at STELLAR look forward to helping you reach higher levels of success!

Hail Rome

Terry Cusack, Founder and CEO of STELLAR Fundraising was recently interviewed by Forbes Magazine for an article they were doing on "Best Small Places for Business and Careers".  They wanted to interview Terry specifically about hot markets and communities that have their economic and community development act together and who were doing creative things. After an overview of several STELLAR client communities that fit that bill, Forbes chose Rome and Terry connected them with the Greater Rome Chamber of Commerce President Al Hodge and Coosa Valley Technical College President Craig McDaniel who work hand in glove to foster regional economic and community development in prosperous Rome and Floyd County, Georgia.

Another recent addition to the long list of STELLAR clients is the Livingston Economic Development Council, Inc. (LEDC), headed by John Ware. STELLAR is assisting with the design of a bold new economic and community development strategy and testing financial support for a fundraising campaign through a Parish-wide feasibility study.

“The LEDC is like too many EDCs today--they have just enough budget to be reactive to prospects and the community’s economic and community development needs. However, the proposed STELLAR fundraising campaign will more than double their current budget and allow them to be a more proactive and aggressive player in the highly competitive world of economic and community development. In short, this campaign will take the EDC to the next level, both programmatically and financially to better serve Livingston Parish and those who live, work and play in this beautiful community outside of Baton Rouge” said STELLAR Founder and CEO, Terry Cusack.
