Fundraising Strategy
The Root Center is currently conducting a concert series in conjunction with silent auctions and raffles to raise awareness and money. Once the community center is operational, The Root Center will receive money from ticket sales from some of the events. The Root Center will also grow a small percentage of specialty foods that have high markup value to sell to local grocery stores and at farmer’s markets. The purpose of these sales will be to offset the cost of the produce grown for the food banks. Further fundraising programs may include (but are not limited to) sales of novelty items at The Root Center’s primary location, membership drives, online solicitations, grants and donations from investors.
