Fundraising Update
04/02/2012
Since our last update on 31 January 2011, I am happy to inform you that our total has increased by a further R147, 660 to R15,763,155 with the number of donors increasing to 438.
During the past month, I have spent time contacting some of our potential major donors who indicated that they would donate in the New Year as well as the co-ordinators of the non-performing years to discuss strategies with them to get them going. As suggested by a number of you, I would like to publish how the individual years are doing (as opposed to the decades) so it is important to get everyone at least on the starting blocks. I intend to do this from the end of February.
I am hoping that the campaign will gain some impetus during the month of February as donors make use of the tax deductible benefit by donating before the end of the month (10% of the taxable income may be deducted as a donation to the Trust) and so make use of the first three opportunities for a tax deduction on offer. (The others would be the end of February 2013 and 2014 - and beyond if you choose to continue to donate!) As with most organizations, we intend to get the certificates to all who have donated by April/May.
Please do visit the website - www.pretorian.com for updates and do keep talking to friends and family about the campaign. We have excellent promotional material as you are aware but you are still the best marketing tools by far.
Kind regards
Bill
