(CME), a one-year-old nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting music, art, and culture in our community.

With limited funding in the past, we have heavily relied on the dedication of our volunteers. However, to sustain and expand our efforts, we are seeking financial support from our community.

Currently, we have a bare-bones fund of $20,000, which we aim to utilize efficiently to support our organization. The funds will be allocated to the following areas:

1. Attorney Consultation: As a nonprofit organization, we must ensure compliance with legal requirements and regulations. We need to consult with an attorney to navigate these complexities effectively.

2. Computer Graphics: Enhancing our visual presence is essential for attracting a wider audience and promoting our events effectively. The funds will be used to invest in computer graphics to create captivating promotional materials.

3. Website Hosting: Our website is the primary platform for disseminating information about upcoming events, showcasing artists, and engaging the community. The funds will cover the cost of hosting and maintaining our website.

4. Volunteer Stipends: While we deeply appreciate the dedication of our volunteers, we understand the importance of recognizing their efforts. Providing modest stipends to our volunteers will not only motivate them but also help us retain their valuable support.

5. Editing Software: High-quality audio and video content creation is crucial for building a strong online presence and reaching a wider audience. The funds will be used to obtain professional editing software to improve the quality of our promotional materials.

6. Music Events Calendar: Maintaining an up-to-date and comprehensive music events calendar is vital for both local musicians and music enthusiasts. The funds will be utilized to ensure the accurate and timely curation of our calendar.

It is important to note that in 2022, our organization operated with a meager budget of $4,000, which was provided by a city art grant. These funds were not sufficient to sustain our operations, and we are in dire need of additional support to continue our mission.

By supporting CME, you will contribute to the growth and enrichment of our community's music, art, and culture. Your financial assistance will help us organize more events, showcase local talent, and provide a platform for artists to thrive.

We kindly request your support and invite you to join us in fostering a vibrant and inclusive arts community in Chico. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the cultural landscape of our city.

Thank you for considering our request. We are more than happy to provide any additional information or answer any questions you may have.

Sincerely, Chico Music Events
