Funding!

This has been one of the most time consuming aspects of establishing Northern Pride.  We want to make sure that the dances sustain themselves, so that we can be assured if and when community members leave and travel outside of North Bay that there will be no financial drain on the next coordinators. 

We are making every effort to keep the cost of attending the dance at its most recent cost of $8, and it is the hope that we can make up for fluctuating attendance through raffles, product donations, as well as monetary donations made by community members who are able. 

If you know of any businesses, organizations, or individuals who would like to assist in assuring that the dances continue please feel free to contact me and I would gladly provide you with our funding request letter.  All donations will be accounted for and receipts recorded for transparency and legitimacy or myself and the reputation of Northern Pride. 

I hope that together we are able to bring greater diversity to the types of events and activities that will be offered.  I guess the importance lies in the networking that we do and the various ways we can all work together.
