Criteria for posting an Email Blast:
To ensure appropriate, unbiased use of the 2-1-1 Email Blast system, the following criteria is observed:
1. All email blasts must be posted by a representative of the non-profit agency/program hosting the event.
2. Central Michigan 2-1-1 will not send blasts of a political nature or containing a political message.
3. Central Michigan 2-1-1 email blasts are not intended to provide a vehicle for requesting resources for individual persons, families or situations.
4. The same event/blast event will only be sent a maximum of two (2) times.
5. If an agency/program submits material to be blasted & later submits changes to the original submission after a blast has already been sent, 2-1-1 will resend the blast. This second blast (to correct errors made by blast requesting agency/program) WILL count towards the 2 allowable blasts per event/blast.
6. All email blast requests submitted to 211@lifewayscmh.org will be posted within three (3) business days.
At staff’s discretion, staff can address over-use & abuse of the 2-1-1 email blast system by specific agencies/programs and make suggestions for continued use.
