A New Way to Fundraise

A new way to fundraise...where people eat to raise money for a cause they support. That's what stew is doing in Baltimore. The fundraiser dinner took place in an old church known as 2640. STEW was inspired by a national movement of grassroots fundraising solutions for community-supported projects. This idea started by Chicago's InCubate and spread to stock, in Portland, Oregon, and feast, in Brooklyn.
70 People attending the fundraising dinner which was $10 for a four-course meal. The food was donated by local farmers that were volunteers for the cause. Presentations by local organizations filled the time between each course. Each described what they do and why they need money to run their operation. When the presentations ended, the people voted on which group should receive the money. In this case, they voted that the three groups split the $700 that was raised.
