One possibility is that we begin compiling a snail mail list of potential donors, to whom we begin sending out solicitations. Donation requests would be small ($5-$50), but this might provide some income over the coming months. Of course, printing and postage would be costly, but this would be an initial investment with hoped-for returns. Costs would include printing of a letter, postage, and a postage-paid return envelope and form. While I am not enthralled with this idea, it does work with other charities. What do other people think?
