Some New Friends

This month we've taken the liberty of sending our recently redesigned newsletter to an expanded list of STELLAR friends and associates, to give everyone a chance to see what we've been up to.  We think you'll find it useful, though we would appreciate any comments or suggestion that you'd care to offer.  

Of course, if you'd rather not receive future copies of FUNDamentals, just click on the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of this page.

Thanks.

Ohio Economic Development group selects STELLAR

The Greater Erie County Marketing Group, Inc. (GEM) has selected STELLAR to design and test a bold new five-year economic development strategy. Preliminary plans suggest the strategy will include a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis and community audit, marketing and attraction of new industry, retention and expansion of the existing industry base, government affairs programming and the development of a strategic partnership with NASA. The new strategy will be tested community-wide during a funding feasibility study to be conducted by STELLAR. Assuming support is found, a STELLAR fundraising campaign will be launched to support implementation of the new strategy to benefit the beautiful Sandusky, OH region.

Fundraising Success in 2004

One of the year's most widely-read publications on the STELLAR website is an informational article entitled "Ten Trends Shaping Your Fundraising Success in 2003". It now appears that what was true in 2003 holds up pretty well for 2004, so we thought you'd find the information to be of value in your organization. Follow this link to access the article.
