[Lnc-business] Budget meeting

[Lauren Daugherty]

Hi Caryn Ann,

We may do 1 or 2 fundraising appeals about the building in 2018 but 
probably not much more than that because we'll be focused on fundraising 
for ballot access, candidate support, etc.

Yes, some people really like giving to something they can touch and 
something that allows their name to displayed permanently. We now have 
sponsors for all of our named rooms at HQ so that removes what many 
people would consider the biggest incentive for donors to give big 
checks to the Building Fund. There are still other opportunities for 
people to give and have their name listed prominently, however, and 
we'll highlight that occasionally.

For the purposes of budgeting, I do think it is wise not to expect any 
large contributions to the Building Fund in 2018.

Lauren
