Feinstein Offers Another $1 Million Giveaway To Fight Hunger For the tenth straight year, Alan Shawn Feinstein will divide $1 million among hunger fighting agencies nationwide using it to help them raise funds during March and April, 2007. Agencies should simply inform their donors that the more of a donation they make to their agency - from March 1st to April 30th– the more of the Feinstein money will be added to their donation! Many agencies say that featuring this in their mailings and telephone solicitations has increased their donations two or three times their usual returns! Only donations received from March 1st to April 30th, and from use of the Feinstein challenge, should be counted. These donations can include cash, checks and food items (that can be valued at $1.00 per item or pound) as well as pledges, as long as they were obtained ONLY in response to our challenge. Participating agencies should send in the enclosed reporting sheet, showing the total they raised from March 1st to April 30th, 2007 from use of our challenge, with copies of any publicity they received about it, and copies of their mailing piece(s) featuring our challenge, plus a copy of their federal tax-exemption (501C3) or proof of affiliation with a tax-exempt organization – all sent by regular mail in one envelope postmarked May 1st to May 9th, 2007 only, to: The Feinstein Foundation, 37 Alhambra Circle, RI 02905. Nothing else is required. Please keep a record of what you raised and from whom should verification be requested! Our million dollars will then be divided proportionately among all agencies complying with the above (a minimum of $250 and a maximum of $50,000 to all participating agencies). Checks will be mailed by August 1st, 2007. Feinstein’s past $1 million challenges to fight hunger have raised a record $620 million for agencies nationwide. Agencies should tell their donors that their donation toward this campaign makes them partners in the most successful grassroots campaign to fight hunger of all times. That is something they can take great pride in. A full report of the results of the 2007 Challenge will be posted on our website in July. # # #
