That the NFC recommend that the PNB direct all local station boards and board members to immediately undertake fundraising efforts as follows: 1) seeking sustaining memberships without premiums.
That the NFC recommend that the PNB direct all local station boards and board members to immediately undertake fundraising efforts as follows: 2) seeking people who might provide no-interest loans to the foundation to finance a fundraising mailing by the National Office.
The National Finance Committee recommends that Pacifica’s iED convene conference calls between station staff directly involved with organizing fund drives to identify and spread high-performing premiums and spe3cials, best practices for pitching during fund drives, billing after fund drives, and fulfilling premiums after payment. These should be separate from the weekly ‘leadership’ calls, and focused exclusively on fund drives.”
