I had an "advice visit" today with a very prominent woman in the community who on the spot offered a $10,000 challenge grant!!
What's even more amazing is that she did not want to schedule the meeting because she said her foundation had no money to give us!

Advice Visit Success
“I've been having a great time contacting various business leaders asking for their coaching/opinion on making the Grand Canyon Chapter of the Red Cross a success.
I briefly outline the reasons I serve on the board, what the Red Cross does in our community, and ask what successful practices they have seen on other charitable boards.
The response is great. They are interested in the Red Cross and want to have on-going dialogue! It's about relationships...... Thanks again, Gail
~Karen Mildenhall, Chair-Elect Phoenix Red Cross
