Moderators dtel's wife Posted October 5, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 5, 2016 The Executuve Committee of the Klipsch Heritage Museum Association is seeking volunteers to assist in seeking funding suggestions for the Museum. There is a need for individuals familiar with seeking grants and other fundraising opportunities. Most of the communication is generated via email and telephone conferences. If this is an area of service that may interest you or someone you know please PM me.

calhockey10 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 How much are you looking to generate a year in funding just a ball park figure? I'm apart of a non profit that fundraises about 10 grand a year fairly easy however I have no clue on the grants side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel's wife Posted October 5, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted October 5, 2016 @calhockey10, we are still in the budget planning stages. In the "ideal world" we are hoping to generate at least $30,000 a year. Our Executive Committee is meeting via teleconference once a week, with numerous other calls taking place almost daily. At this time we are seeking any and all volunteers who have any interest or skills in fund raising. We are optimistic one or more forum members will have some experience in grant funding, but that is not a requirement for participation. We would love for you to join the committee! If you're interested please PM me with your email and any information you may be willing to share about the non profit you are currently involved with. We are very excited about the opportunities the Museum has to offer and hope that others like yourself will become involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 So the possibility of a charity golf outing the Thursday before the Pilgrimage has been thrown out there. How many people would come a day early to play some golf, have a bunch of laughs and raise money for the Museum? We are looking for a head count of those interested before we proceed any further Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat_in_dfw Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Is the idea for the museum to be free or would admission generate revenue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Free was the assumption until it was observed that "free" may lessen the perceived value of the experience. And revenue would be nice! I'm thinking of something pretty low, such as $3-5. Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I think $3.00 would be perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_in_dfw Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I think a small admission fee ~$5 would give a perception of more "value" and help with revenue also. I would be willing to volunteer what time I have to the cause. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel's wife Posted January 24, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2017 We are seeking volunteers that may be in or near the Hope, AR area, or be willing to drive up there for work weekends from time to time. Various skill sets sets are needed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_in_dfw Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Talk to me in more detail about what you need. I'm in near Hope, but DFW isn't far and I'm sure there are a fair share of Klipsch fans in the DFW area. Maybe start a "fan club" with some kind of perks where the revenue could go toward the museum? Just one idea of many I would like to discuss in more detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
