As a member of the non-profit community who is always facing the uphill task of finding sponsors and development sources for programs, I would laud the idea of MMT producing a Fundraising "Prom" if you will, where everyone has a date! I'm thinking of a day where non-profits and funders/sponsors come together, in order to find each other.  Often when looking for $$, it feels a bit like a needle in a haystack - this way funders/sponsors can see all the choices of programs in need of support, and non-profits can speak to individuals directly and find the funders/sponsors that are most attracted to what they do, whether it's the arts, education, environmental, you name it.
