News / Arts Arts and Science Council launches Power2give.org
Posted By Cheris Hodges on Fri, May 20, 2011 at 4:59 PM
The Arts and Science Council announced today that it's launching a new website — Power2give.org — on July 19 to help cultural organizations fund projects and appeal to donors who want to know exactly where their money is going.
At a briefing on Friday, Scott Provancher, ASC president, and Laura Belcher, CFO of ASC, outlined what the site would do and who can use it. "We got a real wake up call a few years ago when we saw 40 percent of our revenue disappear in one campaign," Provancher said. "Up until that point, our organization had been nothing but up and to the right."
Power2give.org will reportedly serve as an online cultural marketplace designed to connect donors with project they want to support. The projects listed on the site will deal with arts, science and history. According to its guidelines, the groups that will be allowed to post to the site must be nonprofits; in addition, proposed projects have to be local and cost under $10,ooo — and the group must have been funded by the ASC in the last five years. A 12 percent administrative fee will be charged for groups that use the site to pay for processing the payments. Projects will remain on the site for 90 days.
The ASC will be hosting Power2give workshops, which are invitation only, to give more information on how the site works on the following days:
June 9 — 10 a.m.
June 10 — 2 p.m.
June 13 — 3:30 p.m.
June 27 — 10 a.m.
The workshops will be held at the ASC office. For more information, email: p2g@artsandscience.org or call Chavon Carroll at 704-335-3048.
