A One Man Operation and a Bit of History
Advancing Parenting is a one man operation. AP has no office, no employees, and incurs no expenses other than the cost of printing and shipping the bumper stickers.
I started Advancing Parenting in 2012. At that time, I planned to apply for grants and give sets of the bumper stickers away. I thought foundations would be eager to fund this entirely new kind of parenting education that reaches everyone, everywhere. I started using social media to make schools, agencies, and organizations aware of the bumper stickers, and Wow! did the requests come flooding in. I answered the requests by stating that they would be put on a waiting list and when Advancing Parenting has the funds I would print and ship the stickers.
I slowly learned that funders don't want anything to do with nonprofits that can't measure and evaluate their activity...a reasonable expectation for organizations doing riverwork, but not a reasonable expectation for an organization doing bridgework. The impact of this kind of proactive, public parenting education can't be measured. That disqualified Advancing Parenting from any kind of funding. So...now I have a waiting list with about two thousand schools and organizations on it and little hope of ever being able to provide them with the sets of bumper stickers they've requested.
I've had to change tactics.
Ordering and Donating
If you would like to donate so I can print and ship to everyone on the waiting list, click the icon below and make a Paypal donation or checks can be made payable to Advancing Parenting and mailed to

Do not send cash.
If you would just like a bumper sticker for your car or truck simply email me and let me know which one you'd like and I'll mail it to you. No charge. If you live in Ventura County I'll even put it on for you.
Schools, businesses, agencies, communities, churches, service clubs, and organizations may order complete sets of the fifty-five stickers for fleet vehicles, tabletop/counter displays, or to give away at meetings and events. Make a donation of $200 and I will print and put them in the mail. Again, just email me.
Many thanks,
David
