[Fundraising] Initial Meeting

[R. Paul Warriner]

Food for thought:

On "Individual Donations", the following was taken from https://www.groundspring.org/learningcenter/groundspring-handbook.pdf

While Surfrider didn?t
keep detailed stats on their online fundraising;
at the time of this writing, as of spring 2001,
over 5,300 members had signed up or renewed
online. At the minimum $25 gift level, that?s
$132,500, although a few donations have come
in at the $1,000 lifetime membership level! The
site is Surfrider?s #1 source of memberships ? and
memberships are the #1 source of revenue for
Surfrider.

With a goal of $200,000 thrown out for good measure, is this an area we are short changing?

Folks,

Our initial meeting of the Fundraising Committee will be tomorrow, May 9th
at 1600UTC (noon EST, 9am PST). We will meet in IRC. Our initial agenda is
at:
 http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/FunComMeeting1

I am a bit concerned about how to give our discussions some structure so we
can accomplish stuff. I would encourage folks to review the existing
sponsorship documents at:

 http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Sponsorship

and write up fairly specific suggestions for changes, additions and so forth
to this email list in advance. It is very hard to do deep thinking in the
context of a meeting, so we all need to do some homework in advance.

Best regards,
--
