City Awards Conservancy $10,000 Grant

March 2, 2018

The City of Santa Monica has awarded a Strategic Sustainability Initiative grant of $10,000 to the Santa Monica Conservancy. The grant, which must be matched with Conservancy funds, is being used to upgrade our technological needs in order to support member services and educational outreach, and increase efficiency in maintaining our organizational processes and communications.

New software, a major element of our proposal, has been purchased and will be fully implemented in mid-2018. As a donor, member, docent and/or volunteer, you will be able to log into your individual account to access and update
contact and membership information at your convenience, as well as view purchases and upcoming events. Thee new system will also
vastly improve your user experience with an enhanced email system and easier, clearer payment processing for memberships, gifts and event admission. In addition, you will have the option for monthly or quarterly giving as well
as quick and secure mobile payments at events.

We look forward to introducing our new system to you, and will keep you updated on our progress throughout the year. We are excited to take this big step forward toward a new level of effectiveness, and appreciate the
support from the City and our donors for making this possible.
