Sometimes the information is disappointing. BETF learned that our grant proposal to The Kroger Co. has been turned down. We wanted funding to support the 16th annual BDPA Cincinnati chapter Education and Awards Banquet.
The declination message from Kroger read as follows:
Dear Wayne Hicks,
We are writing in response to your recent request for assistance with your event. While we are greatly impressed by the scope of your organization’s work, we are unable to offer BDPA Education and Technology Foundation support at this time.
If your organization does not participate in our Kroger Neighborhood Rewards Fundraising Program, please visit our website www.kroger.com/mykroger/014.com for an application. This is a quick, easy way for schools (K-12), churches or any 501(c)(3) charitable organization to fundraise.
Best regards,
Kroger Customer Communications Team
BETF will continue to seek funding to support BDPA Cincinnati chapter and the other 44 local BDPA chapters around the nation. If you have any ideas or funding sources that you think we should consider ... please let us know!
