AS A RESULT OF AN INAUGURAL IN-PERSON FALL FUNDRAISING BRUNCH, OVER 42% OF DONATIONS IN 2019 WERE FROM NEW DONORS WHO EITHER ATTENDED OR RECEIVED NOTICE OF DONATION OPPORTUNITIES RELATING TO THE EVENT. FUNDRAISING EFFORTS ARE FUELED IN PART BY THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST IN RECEIVING CHILD SAFETY INFORMATION. IN 2020, W.A.T.C.H. IS ALSO PLANNING ACQUISITIONS THAT WILL REACH OUT TO INDIVIDUALS WITH AN EYE TOWARDS TARGETING EXPANDED GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS AND/OR GROUPS NOT PREVIOUSLY ENGAGED.
