We will divide our fundraising efforts into three categories. Outreach as it relates to fundraising includes placing information about AguaClara in places where potential donors can see it such as with the Cornell Annual Fund. Contacts means actively exploring personal and professional relationships to help us find potential donors. Grant applications and direct solicitations includes the actual requests for money. This step epitomizes the phrase "one who does not cry gets no milk." We need to raise money for construction of plants in Honduras, research and design work at Cornell and to send AguaClara engineers to Honduras to help train and educate Hondurans on water treatment process.

Outreach

...

The Cornell Annual Fund plans on including information about AguaClara in their mailings and hopefully we can get a link about AguaClara on the Cornell Fund website. Other ideas for outreach for fundraising purposes includes posters on campus and continued contact with previous donors. To develop a solid external face we need to do a good job of developing the website possibly contacting the Cornell Web Design LeageLeague. We could also have a person whose sole job is to work on the website.

Stress the research component in addition to the actual plants. Contacts: 

Contacts 

We should continue to actively explore personal and professional contacts as ways of gaining information about potential funding sources. We should makes contacts with the Honduran and possibly other Central American embassies in Washington D.C. We should also meet with the USAID mission and U.S. Embassy in Honduras to explore possibilities.

...

We need to contact Lucy Fisher and Larry Harrington both Cornell Professors and set up a meeting to take advantage of their wisdom. 

Grants

...

We will assemble a database of potential grants using the foundation directory which can be found at  *http://fconline.fdncenter.org/welcome.php?fpc=          *
