Fundraising

Being a non-profit 501(c)(3) volunteer organization, CISV Atlanta Area relies on funds from its members, friends, and supporters.  Theltha Yates, our Fundraising Chair, has several ideas to assist our Steering Committee in raising funds necessary to support our programs, scholarship, Junior Branch, and to pay for general costs.  Our tax ID number is 26-0089932.

Please contact Thletha at thlethad@yahoo.com if you would be willing to participate in any of the following fundraisers either by selling , buying, or providing support.
