C. How <strong>the</strong> Relationship with <strong>the</strong> EBCAP helps (or hinders) EBCH fundraising.<br />
Having <strong>the</strong> EBCH under <strong>the</strong> umbrella of <strong>the</strong> EBCAP helps <strong>the</strong> EBCH’s fundraising ef<strong>for</strong>ts.<br />
Responses used a seven-point scale from Strongly Disagree (1) to Strongly Agree (7).<br />
EBCH & EBCAP Board Responses: There was no clear consensus on <strong>the</strong> part of ei<strong>the</strong>r board about whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> EB-<br />
CAP/EBCH relationship helps or hinders EBCH’s fundraising ef<strong>for</strong>ts. While EBCH board responses ranged from<br />
Somewhat Disagree (3) to Strongly Agree (7), five of <strong>the</strong> eight responses were “Nei<strong>the</strong>r” (4). EBCAP board responses<br />
similarly ranged <strong>for</strong>m Somewhat Disagree (3) to Strong Agree (7), but encompassed a wider span of possible answers.<br />
Four responses were spread among <strong>the</strong> three “agree” options; two individuals responded “Nei<strong>the</strong>r” (4) and two ticked<br />
Somewhat Disagree” (3).<br />
In what ways does <strong>the</strong> relationship between <strong>the</strong> EBCH and EBCAP help or hinder <strong>the</strong> EBCH’s<br />
fundraising events<br />
EBCH & EBCAP Board Responses: There is some agreement across boards that one problem is competition <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
same donors. As noted in <strong>the</strong> introduction to this report, <strong>the</strong>re also is a similar competition between <strong>the</strong> EBCH<br />
and o<strong>the</strong>r organizations that help <strong>the</strong> homeless. In a small state such as Rhode Island this competition is intensified.<br />
EBCH board members also identified o<strong>the</strong>r problem areas, such as similar fundraising events, which may confuse potential<br />
donors, as well as a perceived lack of coordination/cooperation. Not too surprisingly, EBCAP board members<br />
viewed <strong>the</strong> broader EBCAP resources and visibility as helping <strong>the</strong> EBCH ef<strong>for</strong>ts.<br />
