11. Example: Skelton Grange We have raised money to date by: * messaging our database of contacts who have said they are happy to hear from us about our work and emailing them about Localgiving and the Match Fund events * building up a facebook page and twitter feed * going on radio leeds to talk about a particular event and asking for donations via the website * putting the Localgiving 'donate now' buttons onto our website and into emails to promote the facility And we have put the money towards running environmental education activities for children at Skelton Grange, either directly or as match funding for other grant applications which required commitment or support of others.
