So you think you can't raise enough money to participate. Have you
tried all of these ideas?
1. Ask 10 of your friends to save their
spare change for 3 months and donate it to your USSF costs.
2. Ask 30 people if they will support you at $10
each.
3. Plan a party at your home or a local community space, and
ask for a $5-$15 donation.
4. Creative Sales: bake a batch of
cookies, decorate 20 postcards or write a poetry zine and sell them for
$5 each.
5. Did your organization receive grant money this year? If so, ask
your program officer about applying for discretionary funds to support
your group's travel to Detroit.
6. Not connected to an organization? Join a caravan to Detroit from your
area. Check out abc.ussf2010.org
7. Share a hotel room with 3 friends.
8. Set aside $15 from each of
your paychecks from now until June.
9. Host a yard sale or a car
wash.
10. If your birthday is coming up, ask people to
donate to your USSF costs instead of giving you gifts.
