Committee selects direct-mail campaign and explores RSA donation fund for EV chargers
Summary
Tamworth Energy Committee chose a direct-mail fundraising approach and is working with Emily Nolan and town lawyers on creating a donation fund under RSA; online-payment acceptance and fund restrictions remain unresolved.
The Tamworth Energy Committee agreed to prioritize a direct-mail campaign for individual donors and business outreach after the EV charger warrant article passed. Committee members cited prior success at the farmer’s market and assigned tasks including drafting a fundraising letter, obtaining mailing lists from CLC and the Conservation Commission, and collecting names into a shared Google mailing list.
Committee members also discussed fund structure and legal compliance: Emily Nolan is drafting language with town lawyers to set up a donation fund under RSA that can accept donor intent. Outstanding questions recorded in the minutes include whether the town can accept PayPal or other online payments and whether RSA restrictions would limit use of funds to infrastructure rather than operating expenses; the Tamworth Foundation was identified as a potential backup acceptance vehicle.
