Funding non Profits

There is a seminar today at the Merritt Civic Center, its called enterprising non profits . A n employee of the United way in Kamloops said they are discussing ways of finding income for non profits. such as selling memberships, thrift shops gift shops etc.

A van from the Kamloops Widlife Park is the most predominate in the parking lot , it lists a number of corporate sponsors on the side and the united way person said they have a gift shop.

opinion: the Kamloops wildlife park has an advantage as they charge an admission and have something worth seeing and is in demand. Including a scale train that rides through some of the exhibits.
