On March 1, 2018 Betty Jimerson: the new Chairperson for the newly forming Resource/Fund Raising Committee. On this day A 5 member to 6 members Resource/Fund Raising Committee was constituted headed by Betty Jimerson.
The 1st meeting was an introduction to The Agape House which included a tour of the 1st home.
We will meet again within the 2nd week in April. And at that time I will submit the Committee Members who are serious about supporting and fundraising for The Agape House. We will also start creating a plan for the upcoming year. Assess what worked best for the committee members when they were involved in other fundraising events.
I will delegate tasks to committee members such as publicity, donations and volunteer recruitment for fundraising events.
One member already came up with a great ideal for a 5k @ Green Lake.
My duties and goals:
- Manage progress towards achieving an organization’s fundraising goals
- Develop and carry out fundraising strategies while working with the Agency Fund Raiser
- Community presence in the Black community to raise awareness
- Create and plan different events that can generate donations
- Work with the Executive Director to oversee the total process
- Other to be assigned
PS… going to set a table up the King County Juvenile Division for their Juneteenth event on June 19, 2018

Customer Service
If your organization has any questions on May 9, the team will be available from 7 a.m. until 11:59 p.m. at givebig@seattlefoundation.org or 1.833.962.3615. Trained staff will answer your questions as quickly as we are able to, but you can also find many answers in both our Nonprofit FAQ and Donor FAQ. Feel free to use that information as well.
Seattle Foundation will be active on both Twitter and Facebook throughout May 9 with updates and highlights. If any disruptions or emergencies occur, you can find up-to-date information there or on our blog at www.seattlefoundation.org.
Donor Questions
Throughout the day, your donors may have questions about their donations, whether it is correcting an error or asking for a receipt. We created the Donor FAQs to address these common issues. If the issue needs more support, our staff at both givebig@seattlefoundation.org and 1.833.962.3615 are available to help. However, if a donor contacts you about an unsuccessful credit/debit transaction, we recommend you direct the donor to her or his bank to resolve the situation, as these instances mostly occur because of an issue with a card or bank. Another solution is to have your donor give via the eCheck option during checkout on the GIVEBIG website. If it is determined that these factors are not the issue, please have them contact us via email or phone.

CONGRATULATIONS!
We are so proud of JANIVA (pictured here with Reverend Kiti Ward), who walked at graduation on Tuesday, June 18th and became the first graduate of Agape House to achieve her diploma. She has been such a young champion in overcoming so much.
This is the Bridge and the chance for young women to a new and better life of which we speak and of which Kiti and Agape House seek.
Help us continue the quest, the actuality, the fruition. You’ll find that assisting these young women will make you feel absolutely divine.

SEATTLE WALK FOR FREEDOM
Unbeknownst to many, Seattle is a hot spot for human trafficking. Please COME MARCH WITH US (8 blocks) on Oct 20th to show Seattle that we care about those young women and men who are being trafficked in Seattle and across the world.
YOUR participation matters. YOU being there will make a difference in the lives of our youth and in the climate of our community.
I am so very proud of Saraangelena Ward who happens to be my daughter but moreover is a powerhouse advocate and leader who is working tirelessly and being most effective in bringing together tons of people from all ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds to make this event, on behalf of the unseen and often forgotten, a great success. She and her team are determined to kick butt and be a part of eradicating human trafficking directly in this area and indirectly in the world.
We are so pleased at The Agape House Inc to be a featured local non-profit at this Walk for Freedom event. You can learn of more opportunities to partner with us there as well.
