Great Start Collaborative
2012 Fund Development
The Great Start Collaborative Dickinson County Business Partnership and the Iron County Business Partnership are planning 2012 Fund Development initiatives:
1__ Business and organization donations for children and parent resources for the 2012 Great Start Collaborative Tool Kits.
2__ Area churches will be asked to donate money to purchase Family Coupon Books for Dickinson County families.
In 2011, The Dickinson-Iron Great Start Collaborative raised $4,000 to support purchasing of tool kit resources distributed to over 75 businesses and organizations in Dickinson and Iron Counties. Parents who had children ages 0 to 5 were given this unique tote bag featuring 40 family and children resources packaged in tote bags--valuable family information. Because of the positive response by parents to the 2011 family tool kit resources, the Great Start Collaborative will be distributing tool kits on an annual basis.
In January 2012, the Great Start Collaborative will begin marketing Family Coupon Books that promote family-friendly stores, recreation areas, products, businesses and restaurants. Each coupon page will feature a Great Start Parenting Tip written by Great Start parent leaders.
