Here are some suggestions for other ways you could help to inform people about the importance of public funding to the life of your organization and the community at-large:

• Include mentions of what MCC funding means to your organization in your social media/network channels.

• Write an article for your newsletter about how critical MCC funding is and the difference it makes to your organization.

• Present the Council's executive director, chair or board member as a speaker at one of your important events. Contact the MCC communications department to schedule this.

• Encourage one of your board members or your executive director to write an opinion piece or letter to the editor crediting the Council for support.

• Arrange for an article in your local newspaper about the Council’s funded programs in your organization.

• Create a lobby display or some other public exhibit for the library, the town hall, the school, etc. For example, showcase students’ work or other Council-supported activity.

• Send a special letter home to parents from the principal or executive director illuminating the work of the Council and the programs it supports in your school/organization.
