Neighbors launch Memorial Park bench fundraiser with $10,000 goal
Summary
Pat updated the neighborhood group on a campaign to install a memorial bench near the bike path, asking for donations via GoFundMe or a nonprofit fiscal sponsor; Pat said the effort aims to raise $10,000 by the end of the month.
Pat briefed the meeting on the Memorial Park bench project and the neighborhood’s two donation pathways: a GoFundMe campaign or gifts routed through a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor to allow tax‑deductible contributions.
Pat said the group hopes to “raise the $10,000 by the end of this month,” described contact information on the back table and noted the fiscal sponsor takes a small fee for processing. Attendees asked about progress; Pat said they were “about halfway” to the target and that organizers will circulate updated donation links in a follow‑up newsletter.
Why it matters: the bench is a small capital improvement for the park and a visible community project; the fundraising timeline and two donation options affect donor outreach and tax treatment for contributors.
