cherrybim: why the vicious motzei shem ra
In two years The Project has a budget of around 160,000. That is correct. ALL that has been accomplished has been on a relatively MINISCULE budget.
No transportation, no meeting, no hotels, no restaruants, no salaries. Paid out to shadchanim on average 1,000 per shidduch. Paid out for more than 100 shidduchim after which that part of the program was put on pause. The rest of the money went towards other very effective marketing to raise awareness and thus encourage more close in age shidduchim.
For the record the goal of the shadchan incentive was NOT to get shadchanim to redd specific shidducim, but rather as a VERY effective marketing method to put the issue (age gap) on the map. It probably was the best spent $100,000 marketing campaign in a very long time.
The money was never given out to the couples. It seems like you are quite unfamiliar with the project and yet you have such a strong opinion on it. NASI is more than willing to show any serious person where EVERY LAST penny was spent as they have NOTHING to hide
WHAT IS YOUR ISSUE. Why are you so antagonistic.
