✍️ Partnership Notes
1. Do you have banks or credit unions on your prospect list? Here's an easy action-triggered fundraiser you can execute with them.
2. This is a great example of a national company doing a local cause marketing program in just one market. Folks, you just don't know what a national company will do until you ask them!
3. Next February I hope we see more round-up programs like this one for Black History Month. Point-of-sale fundraisers aren't just for charities that help cute kids and lovable pets. There's enough room for every type of cause under the big tent of cause marketing.
