Lifehouse Crisis Maternity Home

My plan of action is to continue fundraising events in our community with the help of our volunteers and Board of Directors. Without proper advertising and visual tools, this cannot be done effectively. We need to have signage created with our logo and mission statement at these fundraising events. We need informative brochures to hand out. We also need to purchase a mailing list in order to do direct mail, which would inform the community of our mission, and allow them to pledge their monthly gift. I plan to purchase a vinyl banner with a portable stand to display at our events. I plan to purchase a mailing list to help develop our monthly donor base. To date, our impact has been directly minimal, but indirectly huge in this community. We are partnered with Community Foundation of the Ozarks. We are collaborated with The Kitchen, Inc., Springfield Public Schools, St. John's Hospital, Pregnancy Care Center, Catholic Charities, and Missouri State University so far. We have also received our first grant for development of our website and brochure. We have received a scholarship through Missouri State University for Go & Go Lead Training. We have applied for our 501 (c) (3), and have obtained pro bono attorney representation.
