Volunteer-based Tutor/Mentor Programs are encouraged to join this discussion and submit web pages that they use to raise money for their tutor/mentor programs. Here are a couple of examples that Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection, uses.

* First is a page on the Cabrini Connections web site: http://www.cabriniconnections.net/donate

In July 2011 the Tutor/Mentor Connection will split from Cabrini Connection and become a separate organization. At this point it is not determined what structure this will be. Gifts are still welcome, but will not be tax-exempt until a new 501(c)(3) is decided. Contact tutormentor2@earthlink.net if you want to discuss ways to support the T/MC in its future work.
