Hi, it's Carol Lilly with Boomers Collaborative.
I wanted to personally reach out because we are kicking off our end-of-the-year fundraising campaign. We need a total of $60,000 for our planned operations budget for 2022. To jumpstart our efforts our goal is $10,000. Please consider chipping in $21 or more to help us get to $10,000 by the end of 2021!
We’re rethinking retirement. And our first Collaborative Housing effort (a shared-equity senior housing cooperative) is part of the winning proposal for the new Crestview Village redevelopment project. Now, it is time for us to establish an operations budget to fulfill all that will be required of us before project completion and move-in. Your contribution helps set the foundation for the future: We’ll hire an executive director; meet with the developer, creatives, lenders, restaurateurs, farmers, other nonprofits, and service providers; and make sure our first co-op residents and nonprofit board members are trained up. We’ll also be working to identify a second location, preferably in South Austin.
Boomers Collaborative has big plans for 2022 and beyond. Your contribution will help us move forward in this process. Without you, we won’t be able to finish building our vision. So we are reaching out to you and others who understand how necessary it is to rethink retirement for Baby Boomers, other seniors, and future generations.
As a grassroots organization, Boomers Collaborative is not supported by investors or corporate donors. We're currently fueled only by our passions. Please join us. Together, we can bring our powerful new vision for a stable, sustainable, and attainable retirement.
Thank you for being a part of this!
