Fundraising
The INLNA has been sustained by volunteer service and by in-kind and/or financial support from its member clubs, individual members, and friends. INLNA programs are supported by a combination of participant fees (e.g., Snorri West), membership dues, net INLNA Calendar revenue (sales and advertising), occasional donations, and partially by drawing down retained earnings (e.g., reserve accounts and term-deposits). Being able to continue and expand current INLNA programming and initiate new programming is only possible with your support.
As we don’t have charitable status and therein can’t offer tax incentives for donations, we rely on cooperation with like-minded charities and organizations, corporate donors, and collaboration with individuals and businesses for in-kind donations.
If you or an organization you’re affiliated with is interested in helping our fundraising objectives, please reach out to inlofna@gmail.com. Below are some of our current fundraising goals and initiatives.
