I don't know Colorado, but I can tell you that here in Massachusetts, Wainwright Bank is extremely friendly to non-profits. Also, again locally, Cambridgeport Savings Bank has no fees for non-profits other than the printing of checks. But the real thing I wanted to say was don't forget to "negotiate" with a local bank to get the fees waived. The manager has the authority to do this and a nice mention of their "generosity" in your newsletter/on your web site more than makes up for the lost fee revenue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Susan Cronin Ruderman, Ed.M., Vice President VERITAS INFORMATION SERVICES, 9 Alton St., Arlington, MA 02474 (781) 643-7811; (781) 643-1136 (fax) mailto:[log in to unmask] Fundraising Research Consulting http://www.veritasinfo.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
