Vibewire has just launched
our first-ever public fundraising appeal and I'd love your support to make it a
success. As
an organisation without any core (or ongoing) funding we rely primarily on
grants to operate, but in order to continue to survive we need to fill the gaps
in-between and, like most community
organisations, we require community support to do
this.
I am incredibly proud of what Vibewire
has been able to achieve over the last few years, and with your help we can do
even more in the years to come. We have a great 2007 planned, including creating unique and engaging
youth-focused coverage of the 2007 federal election, opening the sQuareOne
media, arts and community space in
Sydney , seeing Reelife Short Film Festival returning to Melbourne,
Canberra and Brisbane and launching
the next Interface Anthology of new youth writing at the Sydney Writers
Festival in May next year. But without great
support these projects will be put in doubt. In order to get there and continue to create
these sorts of opportunities we need to diversify the sources of our
funding and be more proactive in fundraising. This is the important first
step in that direction.
But we're not just asking for money for nothing,
we've got some great packages of
Vibewire products for those who show support
(just in time for Christmas as they say). These include the Vibewire 2007 desktop calendar filled
with great photography, the Reelife 2006 DVD, magazines and the chance to
support young people accessing the sQuareOne space, to open in February
2007.
Thanks so
much.
