Police Dog Chart?

You might try contacting the police department to see if they have a fundraising coordinator or failing that talk to public relations. There might already be a campaign underway to raise money for the vests. Also, the last thing you want is for someone to phone the dept to ask if you are legit and be transferred to the fraud division.

Another benefit of doing this is that someone might already be set up with a charitable number (for taxes), a volunteer structure, or other distribution outlets set up that you can piggyback upon.

When you go to talk to the fundraising coordinator, or whatever, you should have the product, packaging as well as the marketing information in place, such as a list of possible distribution points such as dog shows, craft markets, pet stores, etc. You should also have a good idea of how much it costs to rent a table at these venues, as well as other costs of production. Are you going to do this yourself, or are you going to recruit volunteers? How many charts would have to be sold to buy one jacket?

Good luck Dora
