Facebook Fundraisers
Whereas we truly appreciate all of the “pennies from heaven” that show up on our doorstep as a result of your wonderful Facebook birthday fundraisers, Facebook does not let us know who initiated the fundraiser in the first place, or how much from their funds transfer is a result of whose fundraiser. If you choose to start a Facebook fundraiser, could you kindly tell us that you did/are doing it, and after it is over, how much was raised? It will clarify our accounting, and give us an opportunity to thank you!
Folklore Village now has Community Foundation accounts at the Madison Community Foundation, the Fox Valley Community Foundation, and the Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin:
Contact Executive Director, Terri Van Orman for information on how to gift a significant amount to our Community Foundation accounts. (608) 924-4000
