Meet Advancement and Partnerships!
Our committee started as Fundraising, but Advancement and Partnerships better define our committee’s objectives in advancing the Stoa mission through partnerships with donors, vendors, sponsors, members, and the community. Chaired by Stephanie Dropping, our committee members, Kayleen Kausrud, Lorraine Mink, and Beth Nieva, work together in the following duties:
Sponsors: Our StoaByte and the website contain the logos of our sponsors. Stoa ad emails and featured videos can also be found on our YouTube channel and website.
The A and P Committee, along with the Executive Director, work year-round with these sponsors and potential sponsors to support Stoa and share these fine institutions and businesses with you.
Vendor Fair: The NITOC vendor fair provides opportunities for universities, colleges, and businesses to interact with our families. Do not miss the vendor fair. Chat with admissions counselors and explore business products, services, and opportunities.
Fundraising: Fundraising comes in many stripes. Here are just a few channels that we use to support Stoa: the Silent Auction at NITOC, The Market at NITOC, our Christmas store on Zazzle, Giving Tuesday, Faithful Friends (monthly donations), and project-driven campaigns.
Member Benefits: We work with corporations to bring discounts to our member families. One popular member benefit is the Office Depot and Staples discount programs. We also work with the Kroger and Fred Meyer family of supermarkets and earn donations from our members' shopping. If you have an idea for a member benefit, please contact us at investinstoa@stoausa.org.
the shift from a fundraising committee to advancement and partnerships is a thoughtful evolution. it broadens the scope to include strategic relationships with the entire community. the details about the vendor fair, member discounts, and diverse fundraising channels show a practical and multi-faceted approach to supporting the organization's mission.

I really appreciate how this committee goes beyond traditional fundraising by focusing on meaningful partnerships with sponsors, vendors, members, and the wider community. The vendor fair also sounds like a valuable opportunity for families to connect with schools and businesses. It’s encouraging to see how many different initiatives can work together to support a shared mission. After reading about all these activities, I’d enjoy a quick round of Basket Random as a fun break.

The shift from Fundraising to Advancement and Partnerships, along with concrete details like the Zazzle Christmas store and Kroger shopping donations, reminds me of strategically placing pieces in a block puzzle - each partnership is a calculated move that shapes the whole.
