We are kicking off our fundraising campaign for 2013-2014 between now and February 14th, 2014 and want to solicit your contribution. Our goal is to raise $100,000, which represents about 1.5X our annual budgeted expenses, to be used as described in our most recent newsletter (Letter from the President, December 2013).

Our top priorities are: 1) Build a human capital membership database, 2) Develop the LIFE -LebNet platform partnership, 3) Implement a mentorship program for a select number of CEOs of lebanese startups.

Our expenses are summarized as follows:

- Part-Time Executive Director
- Operating expenses:
- Travel expenses to partners / beneficiary companies
- Legal and tax preparation fees
- PR and sponsored events
- Website upgrade and maintenance
- Social media presence
- Administrative expenses
- Student subsidies to attend our social events

No membership fees will be assessed through 2014. We are offering the following sponsorship levels, based on discretionary annual tax-deductible donations (EIN 27-3472825):
Silver: Up to $499
Gold: $500 to $4,999
