sponsorships

I had a disappointing day yesteday, the grant funding that I was counting on has been moved to the end of the year.

In one way, it is good as the size of the grant is much bigger, but that will slow down the build process for some of the programmes.

I launched a sponsorship programme and within a few hours, I was offered advertising space and lots of ideas from good people.

It is very innovative having three components:

1. The donor sponsors a programme (we have 17 to choose from)
2. They then get €20,000 worth of training vouchers for any of the programmes
3. They can claim tax relief on the donation

many thanks to Liam Holland from the Irish Times who has graciously agreed to run us some ads to help us

If there is someone out there in the universe who is destined to help us, I am sure they will be reading the Irish Times when our ads are in.

Keep your fingers crossed
