Fundraising Ideas

The Friends of Ishmael Society Fund was established in order to serve as a source of funding for endeavors that spread the word about Ishmael. All startup expenses were paid out of the pockets of the founders and a few generous donors. We no longer accept donations. However long ago we had a few goals that would involve the use of funds.

Our original goals for the use of funds were:

Goal #1: Nonprofit Application - Goal Achieved

The first $500 paid for our application fee to attempt to establish the Friends of Ishmael Society as a non-profit organization.

Goal #2: Grant-giving

We then planned for funds to be redistributed to local Ishmael groups around the world. Once a critical amount was obtained, the idea was that any Ishmael related group or individual could ask to be reimbursed for expenses such as flyers, newspaper advertisements, commercials, billboards, and more books.

Goal #3: Staffing

A long-term objective of the Friends of Ishmael Society was to maintain a small temporary or permanent staff. This staff would maintain this website, publish a newsletter, help create and support local Ishmael groups, apply for grants, organize fundraisers, handle finances, and/or network with other organizations.
