FUNDRAISING IS IMPORTANT

Here is a list of some of the things that require money when running a TYG:

·         Cost for maintaining a TYG website (domain name, services of a webmaster, etc)

·         Food for meetings and events

·        Computer in the TYG office/ boardroom or lounge

·         Making copies

·         Tzedakah

·         Supplies for events

·         Supplement expensive group activities (renting out spaces, bowling, rock climbing, etc)

·         Subsidize NFTYites who can’t afford to attend regional events

·         Subsidize NFTYites who can’t afford to go to Israel, NFTY Convention, Kutz Camp, or other URJ Camp Institutes

·         Pay for a speaker who charges a fee

·         Decorate a “TYG Room” or Youth Lounge at your synagogue

·         Special things for the TYG like a mascot, banner, etc.

·         Thank-you gifts, hostess gifts, etc.

·         Postage for fliers (in addition to posting fliers online)

·         Cost of long-distance phone calls if your potential members reside in more than one area code (again, in addition to communicating with these members online)
