Book Campaign, Fund Raising Model : 

GA 09, February 6-9 30 Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau, Washington DC Book Campaign, Fund Raising Model So, Question: what we can do with the leftover money instead of just returning it and off course after getting the approval of the participated institutions?

Book Campaign, Fund Raising Model : 

GA 09, February 6-9 31 Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau, Washington DC Book Campaign, Fund Raising Model The answer is: The leftover money can: support two book campaigns 100% free of charges to two different governmental universities. be used toward other ESANA projects especially social funds. be used toward ESANA suggested projects especially Emergency funds. be used toward supporting ESANA units financially especially the newly initiated ones. be used toward ESANA activities like Egypt Day. be used in many directions by ESANA to serve their members better.

Book Campaign, Fund Raising Model : 

GA 09, February 6-9 32 Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau, Washington DC Book Campaign, Fund Raising Model Important Note: For the previous campaigns, ESANA has returned the leftover money to the recipient universities as the fund raising issue was not clarified to them before getting the money. Also, ESANA board thought that further discussions for this issue in the ESANA GA 2008 in Washington DC can be more useful and consistent with the ESANA constitution and ESANA values.
