One way a literacy program in California asks for funds is by putting a price on specific elements of their program. See how they price it below. This PreESL program is online, but the same concept of pricing can be used for a regular literacy program. Share some of your successful methods for fundraising as comments to this blog.
The training program, Maintaining the Balance: A Guide to 50/50 Management, provides a process for improving program management and setting a price for aspects of your program. VALF provides this training. If your program is interested in hosting a program management workshop to start out your New Year, contact Sandy Newell,

Dear Friend,
Thank you for your friendship and support in 2013. Your
financial contributions made our 2013 activity possible - but we're still not
done closing our budget gap for 2013. Won't you help?
If
you haven't included Centro Latino in your 2013 giving - today is the day!
Thank you in advance for making a year-end tax deductible contribution that
brings literacy to adults ages 16-88 not only in CA but in seven states. Our Leamos Literacy course
can be completed in 150 hours-adults not only learn to read, but they do it
online! We tackle the literacy and digital divide through one course. In
today's fast paced world of technology - that's priceless!
$150 pays for the entire Leamos course for one person - That's $1 an hour.
-$75 pays or 75 hours of Leamos instruction
-$25 pays for 25 hours of Leamos instruction
-$10 pays for 10 hours of Leamos instruction
Donations can be made by check payable to Centro Latino for Literacy and mail
to 1709 West 8th Street, Suite A, Los Angeles, CA 90017. Or online
by December 31st.
Thank you
/Gracias!
