[Interim Artistic Director Colin] Cabot has hit the ground running. He is raising funds within the company's board of advocates, a committee of former board members and longtime Skylight friends and patrons, with the goal of immediately collecting $200,000. That money is needed to ensure that the Skylight has adequate working capital for the rapidly approaching season.the skylight accepts charitable donations online, via the network for good, a nonprofit, donor advised fund, which will distribute your donation to the skylight.
The company is $475,000 in debt, according to [Skylight Board President Terry] Kurtenbach.

Checks or cash sent directly to Skylight would be a better value for your donation. Network for Good, while very helpful with online donations for small orgs, does charge a service fee. I think it's around 20% of the donation.
ReplyDeleteit's less than 5%.

Are there fees?
