There's always a "First Time for Everything- Even Virtual Fundraising" and that can happen despite inclimate weather!!! We are working on next year's content, tools, and curriculum, AND our year end at NEO and Kids First So Cal can now be updated with a click and with web integration to show photos, videos, logos, concepts, achievements, awards and all the rest. We are not just in the field, but we can connect to funders and donors through the smart phone, cpu and laptop that might be looking for something to give to that moves them. This year you can see what we offer online as well as visit us by appointment in the classroom
NEO (New Education Options) got its first Just Give donation online at Great Nonprofits.org. Then we updated our information and added photos and our newest video.
The next step was to head over to Just Give.org and found our donation button on their site listed by nonprofit name and found a page listing our reviews (see blue link below).
Although we found a correction because it is true that we mounted Mrs. Roosevelt for the 40th anniversary of the Venice Mootney Theatre. We'll get back to that later for now what we created going forward is called the Mootney Theatre at Large and it is listed on Brown Paper tickets for our next production. We will be able to post another video on espeakers and meet in upcoming NSAGLAC marketing groups to find out where to take this roving theater 1/2 hour performance whether to a school or a corporation. This will result in further youtube and vimeo postings of a short promotional piece on Mrs. R. produced by student director/producer, Evelyn Giang that is in the process of becoming a living document as part of her digital student portfolio.

We have also launched our Christmas story on www.waterbuddy.org/tostadas-and-angels. Between teachers tube, youtube, expertclick, and other sites, we are pulling traffic. On our facebook nonprofit page, we've 134 followers...its time to troll for more friends at www.facebook.com/neodigitaltrends. In preparation for CES, MITE under Cal State Teach and the Chancellor's Office, or upcoming trade shows like NAMM and the Specialty Food Show, we will be able to show ideas to others about what we are up to, what we will reach for, and our goals to bring new programs forward and find capacity building resources as well as serve as nonprofit press at tradeshows or for subjects that span education, IT, health, science, and art.
In the publishing arena, NEO has just launched an ereader Christmas special with Arbordale Press. It is part of explore several landing pages with Network for Good to reach out to our donor base, board members, and volunteers.
We've will use their merchant banking donation structure underneath the copy and graphics as a literacy campaign with a goal to raise tax exempt underwriting per student per classroom to expand the Kids First at Hamlin Charter Academy attendance, capacity, and or fund a match of $50K from our Burbank donor to open two new sites in academic years 2017 and 2018.
But we still need to talk to philanthropists who work face to face. If we "give to get", We'll buy the coffee for a 20 minute discussion on how to improve our representation. In the future, we may add artisan chocolates in exchange for one to one dialogue or meet greet type skype discussions.
For this holiday season, you can give now and receive a tax exemption for 2016 on your upcoming filing. Donate scholarship funds to us by check made out to Kids First of So Cal or use justgive.org direct or through greatnonprofits.org, our address c/o NEO, 5521 Calhoun St, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423.
With all the changes afoot in Education, population, weather, and leadership, we could use your help to cover overhead and indirect expenses that we are bearing to continue working with musical resiliency and musical linguistics. Help us to make school cool to kids by modeling accomplishment through practice, risk taking and repetition.
With your ongoing support or one time gift, NEO will innovate, research, and apply well researched methods to help children become "school ready". When you think of year end donations or donating a car, giving away assets, or setting up a donor advised fund, do think of us. You can designate your gift to one of the following: our child care program, our artist school readiness program, or help NEO with funding gaps this quarter in order to serve more children in K-5 either in childcare or in the classroom.
If you are press, pass this process along, nonprofits are now using merchant banking, landing pages, publicity distribution, live events, data bases, and seo in order to get their message out in a more and more crowded environment. Happy Holidays and spread the word. It matters. Thanks.
