Title: Initial reasons to fund OUCH
Post by don on Sep 23^rd, 2003, 8:24am

contribute to OUCH.

Postage, Administrative costs, Printing, Mailings, Networking, convention

The electronic format of communication is not cutting it.
OUCH will be needing to reach it's membership through mass mailings.
Postage is not free even to non-profits.

OUCH officers will need to be meeting with the medical community face to face. Travel is not free even to non profits.

Phone lines may need to be established. Phone Service is not free even to non profits.

The convention expenses. It is possible that OUCH Chapters will be sponsoring future conventions rather than individuals. They need funding.

Potential legal retainers. Lawyers are not free even to non profits.

BUMP

OUCH is a 501,c,3 nonprofit organization. All donations are fully tax deducible.

Why not make a small, or large, donation to OUCH (http://www.clusterheadaches.org/donations.html)

;D ;D

Thanks Don. Think lots of people wonder why "not for profit" organizations need funds. After all, they ain't suppose to make a profit ........... they forget that there are still costs.

Come on everyone .......... get to the OUCH auctions and help them out !!!!!!!!!!! Lots of raffle tickets left for sale. Mast will soon have another auction coming our way. If we don't help ourselves, no one will !!!!!!!!!!!!

Non Profits have basicall all the same commercial costs as a For Profit Buisiness.

The differance is any profit realized is put back into the non profit organiztion rather than into a CEO's 401K and stock options.

All moneys raised by OUCH benefits it's membership.
