FYI, sorry but we do lobbying, we're not a 501-c-3, so donations aren't tax exempt.

Project Needs: Continue the work from 10/16 better than ever.
More pics on the slideshow below. We have 35+ people now devoted to working with GFP to canvass, have rallies and more. We have 2 small canvassing outings' worth of flyers from IRT and one outing's worth of our guide. It takes a while to raise money, so we have to start now. The packets take $200 for an order of 1,000 that lasts us for 3 outings, (we gave away 300 quickly when canvassing before we knew where exactly to go) and $80 for the GFP shopping guides that go with them.

Donations large and small! We need money to print up to 1,000 of our Pdx shopping guides which are $0.18 each (If you can print these and bring them, please do) and to print business cards to recommend websites. Our rally falls under nondeductible "lobbying expenses" per the IRS publication 529, and GMO-Free Portland is not a 501-c-3.
