Support
Atlas Corps
An ASC priority
is to develop a diverse funding base including family
foundations, community/national/international foundations,
city/state/national
government, corporations/corporate foundations, CSO
"host" organizations, civic organizations,
religious groups, United Way, revenue
generating products, individuals, and events. It
will also be a priority to develop an endowment to
ensure the long-term sustainability of
the program. Most
importantly, due to the $16,000 U.S. CSO Fellow cost-share,
the additional program expenses will be quite low. In
fact, for the first three years,
the ASC fundraising goal is only $900.000. Over
the next ten year, the funding of the organization will
need to increase every year, but will never need to raise
more
than $1 million in a year, despite surpassing 300 Fellows
by the 10th year. Eventually, with the growth of the ASC endowment
and the increase in the "Host" cost-share,
the program will be completely sustainable without any
additional
funding. The long-term
budget shows how this could happen. |

There are a world of reasons to support
the Atlas Service Corps, not the least of which are by uniting
the global citizen sector we can do more to help humanity |
Help
ASC Raise $460,000 by December 31, 2006.
The Atlas Service Corps hopes to raise $460,000 before
December 31st, 2006 to raise all the money necessary for the first
two years of operation (September 2006 to August 2008). While we
know it is a big request, we are asking individuals to give a larger
amount this year to provide critical early financial support
for the two-year pilot period. In addition, civic/academic/religious
organizations who sponsor a Fellow for $500 will be able to have
that sponsor come speak to their group about international service,
their home country and their issue.
If over the next six months, Atlas
Corps can raise a large amount from individuals and organizations,
then foundation and corporate
money will follow to help grow the organization.
The $460,000 is all of the money we need to be in operation until
August 2008. Because of State Department requirements, Atlas Service
Corps needs almost all of that money in the bank by the end of
2006 to begin the Fellowship. I need your help to raise two years
worth of money in 6 months!
