What we're fundraising for

Website Renovations

Renovations to our website will greatly improve our connection and communication with the community and will entice talented and energetic community members to become involved with our mission.

Website renovations would include:

  • Providing clear direction for our membership to get involved;
  • Using the site as a connective portal to draw individuals to our task force sites;
  • Updating the site of our regional branding task force, "It's All Here" to serve as a communications tool for all 40 Below events as well as other community events.

In order to make this possible, we will need to hire vendors to create the site and assist with site mapping, design, CMS and other aspects.

We estimate that we will need a budget of approximately $25,000 to achieve our goals and estimate this to be a six-month process.

Co-Working Space

We would like to offer our members and community a physical location in downtown Syracuse to give us a more tangible presence to everyone in the area and serve as a starting point for those looking to get involved.

Currently, we depend on community partners to provide us with meeting space and resources for conducting 40 Below work; there is no physical information center for interested individuals. This space will expand awareness of our organization and allow us to reach out to other organizations. Our co-working space will be a versatile spot used for: holding workshops, meetings, professional development classes, social events, forming community partnerships and simply as a "third space" for other organizations in need.

This project is expected to be completed in 1-2 years and will cost 40 Below approximately $15,000 to complete. Other cities in Upstate New York, including Buffalo, Rochester and Albany, have co-working spaces; Syracuse is one of the only cities in the upstate area that does not offer these unique, mixed-use spaces to community members.

Event Series

In addition to our specific projects, we are fundraising to enhance 40 Below's presence in the community. These funds will help us offer consistent events and benefits to our members and the community. We will use these funds to plan and promote a monthly event series featuring speakers and speed networking opportunities. We would also like to plan large-scale events starting with a New Year's Eve party in December.
