Help Stella Maris Foundation go Solar!!
Stella Maris Foundation (SMF) recently embarked upon a partnership with the Jamaica National Building Society (JNBS) Foundation that will give us a web presence on a well known, reputable & secure site that will enable us to raise funds from individuals/entities anywhere, on special projects. However, we need your help to make this work.
Here is a synopsis of what you need to know, in order to know how you can help:
(1) JNBS Foundation has listed SMF on their ‘I Support Jamaica Projects’ website, as one of the reputable & worthwhile projects in Jamaica to support.
(2) Through this crowd funding effort, we are aiming to raise US$5,000 over a 3 month period.
(3) The funds are being sought to help SMF go solar, reducing high energy costs, as well as to assist in our various projects.
(4) This funding strategy has a limited time (3 months). There are only 79 days remaining (as at Feb. 16, counting down) to raise the funds.
(5) Anyone, in Jamaica or the Diaspora can contribute by simply going to the following link .... https://www.isupportjamaica.com/project_details.aspx?pid=81 to view a summary of the Foundation's project & click "Give To This Project".
(6) The idea is to get as many people in Jamaica & the Diaspora to do this. Anyone can log on anywhere, & give any amount they wish, small or large. The more people we get involved, the more likely we are to achieve our target. So kindly go to the link, contribute & share the link with as many of your friends & colleagues as possible & encourage them to do the same.
Thank you for your support!!
