Families with Children from China Oregon and SW Washington is a 501(c3) completely volunteer run, and almost exclusively member funded, organization. 2008 has been a tough year for all of us financially, including FCC. FCC experienced significant and unexpected expenses in Fiscal Year 2007 and the beginning of 2008. As a result, the Board has undergone a considerable amount of effort to build out the proper infrastructure and position the FCC for long-term viability since the beginning of the new fiscal year.
How Can You Help? Now we need your support to bring FCC into a self-sustaining mode of operation.
On the financial front:
- Please renew your membership as early as possible.
- Please contribute anything additional, if able to do so during the renewal process or by using the "Donate Now" button on the web site.
- Please leverage the generosity of your employers if they offer a contribution matching program.
- Please make use of the iGive.com web site to contribute at no cost to you while doing what you would already be doing - Go Shopping! Register for iGive. www.igive.com/fccoregon
- Oh Yeah - Ask your employer to be a corporate sponsor of this fantastic community outreach and education organization to which you belong.
If you have additional fund raising ideas, we would love to hear about them.
On the volunteer front : FCC is an all volunteer organization. We can always benefit from your assistance! Fund raising, event planning and execution, speaking at Waiting Families events, serving on the Board of Directors, and a number of other opportunities to help out are always available. Chinese New Year is coming and we could really appreciate help with that and other planned events. Please contact one of the Board members listed on the contact page of the website.
And THANK YOU for supporting FCC!
