[rfu-automation] Re: [Imc-bookkeeper] Re: Form Submission: Advertise

[Mike Lehman]

Jason,
The Illinois Arts Council provides funding that we use for general 
support of all of UC IMC's programs. As part of their requirements, we 
include its logo or announce its support, as appropriate to the medium 
in question. WEFT does the same thing, for instance.

Community Shares is a funding coalition that provides opportunities for 
workplace giving to  support its members. We get credit for the number 
of CS placements in our various media.

I'm cc-ing this to the RFU-Automation to see if they can give you 
numbers on how many times announcements are made.

I'm not sure, but it sounds like this is supposed to be a link exchange? 
Generally, IMC webpages don't have advertising, so I'm uncertain if 
what's intended would be appropriate without raising concerns about the 
commercialization of our website, since Smile Politely is not an 
IMC-affiliated working group.
