New Education Options created a short term public outreach campaign from December to Valentine's Day featuring the watershed, flora and fauna of Oahu in Dana Wellborn's debut nature photography calendar which is launching as we speak.
Letsfund.it in Fresno has joined NEO in Sherman Oaks to drive traffic and build a network of friends. We can link to Fresno, Napa, Sacramento, San Diego, Redlands, and Palm Springs school districts as part of being a WaterBuddy MWD of Southern California Community Partner and connecting to concerned music and arts advocates.
"We have built 400 plus friends on Linked In connected to our Director. But we've never done a nonprofit or educational social media campaign before or have we sophisticated staff yet to advise us. We're new to social media and new to matched dollar funding required by grantors."
The LA Riverbank Aloha from the HeART outreach program was launched to generate interest in our WaterBuddy PK-EL public school program that is slated to create jobs and work with at risk low to moderate income minors in neighborhood schools in the county's 3rd District.
We are generating interest in literacy through connection to water, weather, wonder, and THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS by William Elliott, adapted from Kenneth Grahame's famous nature tale.
"We don't know what we will find by connecting our corporate facebook page with readers, visitors, advocates, educators, and parents….we do know what will happen if we don't share our student student video about professional development and Bo Lebo's graduate work. We will not be able to fulfill our mission as well as if we reach out and make new friends."
Google and Amazon have offered to help.
Lets Fund.it is terrific. We are a bit like the characters in Norman Jewison's "Fiddler on the Roof", we have to leave what we know to find a new home within and without and instead of a diaspora we are sharing our place among giants in school reform. We can't stay in our traditional setting without threat and we must innovate (Anatevka, Wonder of Wonders).
We are too successful to be ignored and not successful enough to ignore the tax exempt donations that will drive our teacher trainings, professional development and WaterBuddy programs in ESC No at Gault Elementary or under NOBLEKids."
The quotes from Bo Lebo, Director and artist in residence are timely and educational.
As a California nonprofit public charity,
New Education Options, Inc. listed on California Cultural Database, Guidestar, and listed for write in donations with United Way of Greater LA or Arrowhead United Way, Great Nonprofits or now at Letsfund.it, can receive scholarship donations, general operating funds, and gifts to enable them to train teachers, childcare workers, and childcare workers in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 in a 10 school pilot program expecting to raise funds to serve 2000 at risk learners and raise school achievements/student scores through informal science programming driven by Science studies and common core requirements.
The Aloha from the HeART Riverbank Outreach Campaign uses Letsfund.it resources and technology to communicate about what we do and what we have done, how we did it, where we do it, and so much more.
Letsfund.it has given us a platform to be seen and the web a place to clarify, refine, link up and distribute our goals, dreams and course scheduling. In a small nonprofit with lots of obstacles that come with the territory, we are totally excited to team up with knowledgeable staff and refine and exploit our products, services, mission, and accomplishments.
The calendar campaign for WaterBuddy on (LFI) is touching lives, promoting the music, supporting the classes, and potentially saving our aquifers, maintaining water quality and teaching about habitat now.
With brick and mortar restaurants helping us and with the New Year upon us, happy happy New Year. Expect posting from us or changes to improve all our web branding through out! New Education Options, Inc. is no longer because of this app a best kept secret, but will be looking to collaborate with our sheet music with educators, professionals and corporations as NAMM show and CES start up in January. Ho, ho, ho…our best help is organizing photos and digital assets, communicating about our wins, and reaching for serving our first 2000 in school children by a combined general fund campaign and scholarship fund promotion.
Why? To meet our mission requires salaries, benefits, development, reserves, and staffing, all of which can be addressed this quarter and in an orderly launch of WaterBuddy at our first 2 of 10 schools, with luck, pluck, precision, and apps.
Please look at our campaign, friend us and have friends friend us, give a child a scholarship, get a tax deduction, and help us to serve our communities along Greater LA and the Inland Empire's riverbanks.
