What People are saying:
I am writing on behalf of the Santa Fe Women’s Ensemble to thank you for your organization’s help in obtaining some wonderful restaurant gift certificates to include in our benefit party auction on December 6, 2008. We are of course writing the individual establishments to thank them, and provide tax documentation, but we also want to say a BIG thank you for all that you do for non-profit organizations in our community. We were the lucky recipients of gift certificates from The Pantry, El Farol, CG Higgins, Plaza Café, Las Mananitas at the Lodge and Pranzo Italian Grille. These donations raised just shy of $500 for us in our auction, and we are SO very grateful.
Thanks so very much, and all the best for a wonderful 2009!
Sincerely, Mary S. Mittnacht, VP, Development (and Ensemble Soprano) January 2, 2009
"Thanks, you provide a valuable service!" -Oct. 20/08, Jane Barry, Espanola Animal Shelter Oct. 20/08
"This service solves a huge problem for any “open door” business and that is, how to support numerous local charities in an economy that is fiscally challenging for local business-owners. No one wants to say “no”, but in the last few years the requests for donations have burgeoned in number. Santa Fe Donations represents an equitable, creative, win-win solution for both donor and recipient.

"Thank you for the fabulous gift certificates you collected for our First Annual Women’s Health Services Tennis Tournament. I was amazed and very thankful when you dropped off the very attractive
envelopes with each gift certificate. We got a late start on our event planning and it was so wonderful to have the items from you and way before our event.
I will admit, that when you told me about this new program, I was a bit skeptical. I have been in the non-profit fundraising and event planning profession for 35 years and I am truly glad
to see new innovations and ideas that work.
Women’s Health Services wishes you and Santa Fe Donations continued success! I am going to send you our dates for our May 2009 events as soon .
Kindest regards,
Marilyn Perryman, Director of Development and Marketing
Women’s Health Services, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Thank you for providing this important service. Every year our volunteers seek donations from local businesses for raffle prizes for our annual Gala and Galita events. Each year, with the increased number of organizations seeking gifts, their jobs become more difficult. We are grateful that your organization was created to assist both non-profits and businesses in charitable endeavors.

Tracy,
I can't thank you enough for all your help for partnering Bridging The Worlds with Santa Fe area businesses so that we could raise funds for animal rescue. Our on-line auction, "Bid for Life" on Saturday, November 15, 2008, was a huge success -- raising over $2100! It was so well received that we're making it an annual event.
Thank you again!
blessings,
~ Dec. 2/08, Melody Glatz, BTW Fundraising Chairman
