Amazon Pueblo’s goal for fundraising for this summer/fall is a minimum of $6,000 to cover our operations. The more we can raise above this allows us to provide more services and business development. Last year we raised over $8,500 in donations (including money from raffles and donations of goods). Thank you very much to all of our donors!
For this event:
Food
We are preparing traditional Colombian food:
We can ask people for a suggested donation of $10 dollars/meal.
Presentation
We will give a brief introductory overview for people who did not see the presentation from the previous year. Then we will elaborate what we did during the past year, the things that we learned, and what we plan for the coming year. At the end we will hold a question/answer session.
Items for Sale
We will also have handcrafts, some blowguns, and emerald jewelry to sell. Yes, we have renewed all of our non-profit fundraising paperwork in California for 2016, and all donations are tax-deductible!
