Did your COTA community campaign team train recently? Or is your team coming up on six months post-training? Remember, COTA offers a Challenge Grant program that applies to all funds raised in the first six months after the volunteer training. This is an opportunity to earn additional funds to assist your COTA patient with transplant-related expenses!
Six months from your team’s volunteer training date (ex. the deadline for a training on 6/3 is 12/3), if you have raised $25,000 – $49,999, COTA will add $2,500 to the campaign balance. If you have raised $50,000 or more during the first six months, COTA will add $5,000. The grant is awarded automatically six months after the volunteer training and you will be notified of the amount of the grant at that time.
Summer is a great time to plan fundraising events to help your community campaign team maximize the COTA Challenge Grant! In case you missed it, browse summer fundraising opportunities in a recent post on COTA’s Timely Tips.
