Last year, we began a thorough analysis and restructuring of our fundraising and had found some shortcomings that we wanted to fill.Following these findings, we decided to combine our individual and corporate initiatives under one solicitation campaign throughout our territory. Thus, on 15 September 2014, the campaign this fall ' : This is the resource ! 'Will be launched and will allow each donor, individual, family or corporation, to become a member , friend or by contacting the Resource The resource at 418-722-7233 or on the website at www.laressource.tv (firms obtaining visibility thereof) .However, a significant gap remained: the solicitation of the population at large. Indeed, we did not have a process in place to solicit input from people throughout the country. Our search for a partner who would accept , in the fall , on a 6-week period ( September 15 to October 31) , to include piggy banks to solicit donations from its customers were successful .We are therefore pleased to officially announce Uniprix present on the entire territory of La Resource , has agreed to become the preferred partner.
The idea of the united fundraising was first demonstrated in Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. in 1887 and was further refined when the first community Chest was founded in Cleveland in 1913. The first United Fund was established in Detroit in 1949 and differed from the Chest concept in that it was constituted as a givers' organization rather than an organization of the participating agencies, and further, in that it embraced both local and national agencies.A United Way is a legally constituted, non-profit corporation – a completely autonomous local organization administered entirely by its duly elected Board of Directors. It annually conducts a review of agency requests, sets a fundraising goal, organizes a single community-wide campaign and distributes the proceeds according to a pre-arranged schedule. However, because every United Fund was formed, initially, with a view to reducing the number of annual drives, this remains its dominant purpose.
