Donordirect seeks sponsors

Instead of adding to your mail this season, DONORDIRECT is fund-raising through its Website, http://www.DonorDirectSupport.com. DONORDIRECT is a small-scale, no-frills public nonprofit whose founders underwrite all their operating expenses, so that 100 percent of donations go directly to the need. Their “Tide Me Over” Emergency Lending Fund has made 14 onetime crisis loans in the Roaring Fork Valley. Potential recipients submit a one-page application; and, if they qualify, DONORDIRECT pays directly to the provider of food, clothing, shelter, medical care and/or transportation up to $1,000. The beneficiary signs a zero-interest promissory note to repay the loan within 24 months. As these notes are paid, the money is “recycled” to make other emergency loans. Information: http://www.DonorDirectSupport.com or Bartlett at 948-2104.
