The first organization that I believe we could work with is the Art Museum of greater Lafayette. I never even knew that Lafayette had an art museum until I had to take a tour of it for my art appreciation class this semester. This museum offers free admittance to its galleries but does accept free will donations. It is clear that this museum needs some help advertising but would obviously have a small budget. I think that creating a pamphlet to insert into a newspaper such as the Exponent would be a cost effective way to spread the word. I think that a large number of citizen who are unaware of this museum are probably Purdue students, so using the Exponent would probably be our best bet.
The other organization that we could help is the Lafayette Urban Ministry. This seems like a great organization that helps needy children and families in the greater Lafayette area. Last year my brother, an accounting major, volunteered to do free tax services this Urban Ministry. I believe that they always need as many volunteers as they can find and most Purdue students are probably unaware of this worthy organization. Like with the art museum in Lafayette, Urban Ministry probably just needs help spreading the word through low-cost advertising.
