As a redevelopment of sites that had once been fully developed, and later razed, the project involved extensive environmental remediation and going through the state environmental protection agency’s process for obtaining a No Further Remediation Letter. Harvest Homes went through the City’s Planned Unit Development process as some of the buildings sit on lots that had been zoned for commercial use. A stop for the Chicago ‘L’s blue line that provides service to the Loop and O’Hare Airport is a about a 15 minute walk from Harvest Homes. The Illinois Medical District, another important job generator, is just 2.5 miles east of Harvest Homes. It is just five miles from Chicago’s Loop, with excellent east/west and north/south bus service within two blocks. The property is just north of the Eisenhower Expressway (Interstate 290), connecting residents with job centers in the western suburbs and Downtown Chicago. The location is one half block from Garfield Park and close to the well known Garfield Park Conservatory. The project is the largest new residential construction in the neighborhood in the last 15 years. NHPF partnered with People’s Community Development Association of Chicago, Inc., a community-based not-for-profit organization, as co-general partners and co-developers on the construction of 36 new 100% affordable family units in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood.

The strategy of fiduciary responsibility combined with direct outreach worked remarkably well at Sonoma's wine auction this year. We also promised to be active in a fiduciary manner to assure funds were allocated appropriately and outcomes were measured."Īnderson and co-chair Jean-Charles Boisset of Buena Vista and DeLoach Vineyards also facilitated direct outreach - to donors via private dinners and to vintners via mailings - that resulted in significant contributions. ![]() "And we had to show that there had been moderate progress made with prior years’ funding. "We had to describe the need, which was 16,000 children not reading at grade level," he said. Joe Anderson approached that particular auction lot - called Fund the Future - from the business perspective. In the case of Sonoma County, the cause is childhood illiteracy. "However, an innovative approach incorporating the support of a cherished charity could well cater to both the commercial interests of the business and those who need the assistance." “To date, this type of fundraising in wine business is usually confined to supporting start-up businesses or to initiate capital works," Wilson said. “A small producer only needs to search using the term 'wine' on crowdfunding sites to gauge some of the opportunities available to them," he said.ĭo that – search “wine” on crowdfunding sites like Indiegogo and Kickstarter – and here is some of what you’ll find: fully-funded projects like a wine purifier (raised $183,457), Popelouchum Vineyard (raised $169.700), and a Netflix-style library of wine classes from Journee in New York (still in progress, raised $17,879 so far). That's what producers, even the smaller ones, need to know. They key in that case, Wilson said, is to focus on the potential donor’s motivation. Still, the lot sponsor needs to pre-sell their lot to people they know will attend the auction: Anderson pre-sold the Super Bowl to people who were in fact outbid at the auction, and the price was high enough for them to double the lot.īut what about producers who participate in auctions, who don’t have as much exclusivity, bandwidth, or financial muscle to flex? There’s a lot of appeal to a lot like that, especially for bidders who, as Anderson suggests, value exclusivity. In addition, the lot winners will be hosted during Super Bowl weekend by Bruce, which will facilitate entry into parties that a non-hosted person couldn’t access. What makes the lot special is exclusivity.”įor example, Anderson and Keith Bruce, CEO & President of the San Francisco Bay Area Super Bowl Host Committee, put together a lot called the Ultimate Super Bowl 50 Experience-Sonoma Style, which included components that couldn't otherwise be purchased. “People attending auctions today are pretty smart buyers,” said Joe Anderson, honorary co-chair of the auction and co-founder of Benovia Winery in Santa Rosa. Support comes when very careful groundwork has been laid, sometimes well ahead of time, and especially with potential donors’ personality and motivations in mind. ![]()
