Working Group: Fundraising

Joe
Accomplishments
  • A summary of major work completed since last meeting based on last meeting's identified outcomes/issues
  •  
Metrics
  • Quantitative and qualitative results from accomplishments and outcomes.
  • Potential metrics for unresolved issues.
Outcomes
  • A summary of resolutions based on what was accomplished.
  • New directions and ideas that result from these resolutions.
Issues
  • Copied the questions for the Ford Foundation and found contact information
  • Drafted the letter for the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation
  • Received the grant for the Pilot Plant I wrote. This has been recommended for submission by my Grant Writing professor, so it is a good example of a grant to post on the wiki.
  • Helped edit the blanket email for fundraising and PR with Brandon and Nicole.
Metrics
  • The Pilot Plant Grant can be used as a generic grant for future grants and can be edited. It can also be used individually for different components of other grants.
Outcomes
  • The Ford Foundation questions have been sent out for people to draft answers to. If we do this carefully and are selected then we become a member of their list of organizations opening nearly limitless grant possibilities
  • The Pilot Plant grant can be used in the formation of other grants.
Issues
  • We need to be very careful with the Ford Foundation questions as a spot on their list will guarantee many grants to come.
  • The letter to Bill and Melinda Gates foundation needs a second set of eyes to look over.
  • We also need to contact the Ford Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
  • Difficult and unresolved issues
  • Plans for action

  •  Update part of the five year plan on the Wiki
