Where is the Billy Turner matching gift?
I think there has to be a certain number hit through other donations before his kicks in....could be wrong.Quote:

Done and done ... let's go!

If the green and gold football fund can get 100 donors, it will unlock 100k. I would encourage a monthly donation which would count towards the 100 as would a 1 time donation
Looks like we're at 69 right now, it ends tomorrow
Been there done that.Quote:

A question was asked on the percentage of donors that were donating to the original collective that are now donating to the Green and Gold Fund during a zoom call for the Green and Gold Fund last night. Derrick wasn't sure what the exact number is, but mentioned it was somewhere between 25 and 35 percent. Seems like a significant effort needs to be made to get those donors to make the migration.Quote:

Another 3 donors to the green and gold fund will unlock 10k from the Uglem family
200k for general NDSU athletics unlocks a 40k donation. We are currently at 413 Donors and $153,650
Donated
443 Donors
$196,985 Donated to Athletics
Another 3 grand unlocks 40k
https://give.ndsufoundation.com/scho...ages/athletics
$337,150 Donated to Athletics. The two big challenges are completed!
That includes over a quarter million to the Green & Gold general fund and the football only green and gold fund. That's impressive as hell for 1 day.Quote:

Do we need another donor?Quote:

You get the little guys chipping in 20 bucks a month and it ultimately leads to a steady revenue stream and they provide free advertising and tell all ther Bison friends. The more people spreading the word will help it grow organicallyQuote:

We donated some money for giving day to non-athletic programs and finally got around to signing up for a monthly donation to the green and gold fund.
He was told his help wasnt needed. Soooo we will just leave it at that........................... For now.Quote:

My understanding is this was not even a possibility. Because of how this was handled, I am out.

Long term it will be as good or better just based on the raw marketing power NDSU Athletics and the Foundation. Hopefully they can get Jay back in the mix. He brought some great grassroots efforts to the mix.
Jay donated a hell of a lot of his time to get this ball rolling. His enthusiasm is infectious!

I think the first ever post on bisonville was about how poorly Tram Makers handles communication.

As far as retention, a lot of that is pure laziness (in my opinion). They simply expected donors to roll over and continue to give money. I think most simply would have loved a quick personal communication from Team Makers on the change. That didn't happen until weeks into it. They were handed list of donors. My guess is this is what many members feared w/ the transition to Team Makers. They struggle with communication, leadership, making all donors feel valued -- things Jay and Curt excel at. Take a look at each of the groups events. The collective was made up of individuals from 20 to 90 years old. If you look at a typical Team Makers luncheon (or 90% of TM events I've been to) ... and no offense to anyone here, the average age isn't in the 40's or 50's.
