: How about.."One Child At A Time"??
>>It's a great title, as long as it captures the essence of the organization. Is the goal of this group to help one assyrian/middle eastern/chaldean child at a time? or is it to help children oppressed or neglected by governments? or to people like lina, suffering from diseases?
we can help ALL children, but in order to get financial support, we need to have a specific target audience we want to help with our resources. Muscular dystrophy society helps people with muscular dystrophy, breast cancer society for breast cancer, etc.
---------------------------------
Example:
Children's Defense (helps underprivileged kids in America)
The mission of the Children's Defense Fund is to Leave No Child BehindŽ and to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start, and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.
[indent] CDF provides a strong, effective voice for all the children of America who cannot vote, lobby, or speak for themselves. We pay particular attention to the needs of poor and minority children and those with disabilities.
------------------------------
if people know about our group and know we have money (however much we have), we will get solicited for funds - and we need a set of criteria to use in order to judge who gets money and who doesn't.
