TO: Rancho Cucamonga Library Foundation Board
FROM: Julie A. Sowles, Library Director
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING SECOND STORY
FUNDRAISING
RECOMMENDATION:
No recommendation. For information only.
BACKGROUND:
Follow-up contact is on-going with Victoria Gardens regarding a potential donation to the Second
Story and Beyond campaign. Victoria Gardens has reached out and requested additional time to
review our proposal. Staff should be able to provide an update shortly.
As a reminder, there are three prospective donor tours pending: Richards, CORE, and Flynn. If
there are any other pending tours, please inform Dianna Lee for coordination. Dianna Lee is
having discussions with Alaska Federal Credit Union and Haven City Market regarding overall
City-wide opportunities, including our Second Story and Beyond project. A similar request has
been received by Dianna from Burrtec Waste Industries. As a reminder, these potential donors
give to many City projects already, based upon their priorities and funding limits.
Significant campaign progress has been made with the securing of our Naming Sponsor, Randall
Lewis and Family. This will lend significant credibility to the campaign and assist in the
Foundation's efforts to raise the funds needed for this project.
As a reminder, if Board members have new prospects to approach, please get these names to
Dianna Lee for clearance to avoid any potential conflicts or double asks. In addition, new
prospects must be cleared with the City Manager's Office to avoid City-wide conflicts.
It is also time to re-assess any outstanding, pre-cleared prospects and develop a 2019 strategy
to engage with each. It is important to share good news in a coordinated manner and ask
prospects to participate in out campaign efforts. Staff should be able to supply updated project
information once a consultant has been hired to assist with the RFP process. As a part of the
2019 strategy, Dianna Lee is also interested in reviewing our social media program, as this will
become very important as we move forward with the campaign.
Campaign materials will be reviewed for updates. If copies are needed, please contact Dianna
Lee. Dianna has also been reviewing new campaign strategies, attending webinars and will be
working with the Campaign Sub-Committee to review what she has learned.
