Fund Raising Plans

We need your help

FoVR recognizes that we are going to have to get money from different resources in order to make this happen. Therefore, we are developing a multi-pronged approach. Here are the resource groups we are asking for help:

The University
The Alumni
Green Mountain Rowing members
Community Businesses

We are looking to get prospects mostly in the 10k-100k range to build our pyramid off of because with their commitment to the project, the smaller donors will see that they are helping to meet a realistic goal

Gift Pyramid
Gift Size ($)	Number of Prospects	Number of Gifts	Sub Total
100,000+	4	1	100,000
50-25k	6	2	75,000
10-20k	12	4	60,000
5,000	20	8	40,000
1,000	30	15	15,000
0-500 (avg. $250)	80	50	12,500
		Total	302,500

This gift pyramid paints a good picture on how to make this happen. If we reach the 200k mark that would enough for Friends of Vermont Rowing to enter negotiations for the property. The rest of the money would made through ongoing dues from members, rent from the house on the premisis, and year to year fund raisers.

Currently we have two anonymous prospects in the 10-20k range with the gift being given over a two or three year period of time. If you are interested in being a prospect in this range, please contact Erik Breiland. Your generous support will help us create the gift pyramid that is needed. Thanks.
