Tasting Good Works!

Food is everywhere...in our grocery stores, the media and most importantly our communities.

Taste Williamsburg Greenpoint is the latest "Taste" initiative to combine great foods, drink and a cause.

With our support last year - the Northside Town Hall developed a fundraising concept that could "bring community to the table" in the trendy neighborhood of Williamsburg Brooklyn.  We supported their desire to have a capital campaign initiative that could be an annual event beyond the usual "dinner".  We focused on how to bring as many varied partners to the table and tap into the ever growing food movement in their community. Our services were the building blocks - from the ideation to an event business "plan", which began the implementation of the crucial pieces to pull the project off.  With the leadership of a volunteer team of dedicated organizers, and community businesses, they have come up with an event that should deliver great success!

Successful fundraising whether a community project or a national non-profit campaign have key items in common - regardless of the size and stage of the event.  FUN and imaginative events require collaboration - what is now referred to as "crowd sourcing" but what many have always known to be community organizing 101.  Allow your initiative to take on a life of its own while maintaining the objective - this way the creativity flows, and finally as soon as it is over pull up your sleeves and get ready for the next one - it will be here sooner than you think.

So save the date May 16th 12 - 4 PM Rain or Shine and come out....and Taste Williamsburg Greenpoint while supporting the collaboration of community, business and the cause!


A Good Work that will keep on Work'in!
