A Word from Our Fundraising Co-Chairs

The Perinatal Council's fundraising activities are expanding to meet our growing opportunities. Two years ago we launched our first multiple-year giving society, Babies Matter Society. Members make five-year pledges to help us grow our base of individual donors and create sustainable funding for our future. Our five-year goal is to increase unrestricted giving from individual donors to at least 10% of our revenue.

However, as interested as we are in fund-raising, we are even more interested in "friendraising"—that is, building awareness of The Perinatal Council's work and building relationships with those who might be willing to volunteer for one of our programs, become a member of the board, and/or commit or significant resources, either through an annual donation, a planned giving program, or a capital campaign.

We look forward to helping The Perinatal Council continue to offer services that are always in the interest of the child, and, of course, we invite your monetary or in-kind contributions to further our important work.
