Driving Financial Sustainability
How to secure sustainable funding for nonprofit organizations that are developing and promoting the national collection of America’s Byways is the focus of a new CD produced by Seaway Trail, Inc., Sackets Harbor, New York.
Executive Director Teresa Mitchell and CD Project Facilitator David G. White of New York Sea Grant debuted the “Driving Financial Sustainability for America’s Byways Organizations” CD at the 2005 National Scenic Byway Conference that just concluded in Cleveland, Ohio.
The CD includes information, ideas and inspiration shared by byway representatives gathered from across the U.S. by Seaway Trail, Inc., for three roundtable meetings in Fall 2004. Real-world funding case profiles are categorized by corporations and businesses, events, foundations, government and academic institutions, individuals, and project advisors list, and a resources list with more than 2,200 links.
“The resources profiled on the CD are not only valuable to the nonprofit organizations promoting America’s Byways, but can be used by any type of nonprofit,” said Seaway Trail, Inc., Executive Director Teresa Mitchell.
Seaway Trail, Inc., received a Federal Highway Administration grant for this project.
