Donor Questions: Where do I send my money $$$$

I've been getting the same question on email lately so I wanted to take a moment to let everyone know the answer (in case you've been wondering yourself).

I've pledged and now I'm ready to give you money. Where do I send my money/check?

Well -- thank you again for your continued support of the museum. We're very appreciative that so many people in our community stepped forward to help keep the museum open. Pledges are a first step for us to see how much immediate money we can gather together. And we're SOOO glad you're ready to write your check now.

But -- we need you to wait a little bit before you put that check in a mail.

Right now the Friends of the North Coast's Natural History Museum is in the process of setting up a place to house these pledges -- along with securing our own 501(c)(3) status and deciding on our administrative policies and procedures. These are important assurances to you, and to us, that the money will be collected and managed in the most professional way possible, but it does take time.

Once we have those things in place (and we anticipate that very soon) we will be contacting you directly about where to send your check or the best way to get your money to us. So no need to worry, we will be ready to collect your money very soon -- and we will let you know.

Thanks for staying with us. Watch the blog for information -- and keep sending us your questions!
