You can find further information on the work of the Fundraising and Public Relations teams on the Outreach Resources page.
In Fall 2010, fundraising was not worked on as extensively as possible, with most of the team's focus going towards PR materials and events. However, some fundraising events were formed, including Gift Fairs and the concert at the Nines. Also, some contacts were developed, including the Pillsbury Institute.
Summary of Fundraising Strategy
Full strategy
- Contacts: Exploring personal and professional contacts to benefit AguaClara
- Affiliates/partners: Forging long-lasting bonds with other groups that can provide guidance for AguaClara
- Corporate sponsors: Speaking with companies that are also passionate about sustainable development for sponsorship opportunities
- Grants: Applying for privately and public grants to fund research
Note: Send finished grant proposals to Monroe; he must personally submit them through Cornell's system. Outreach does all of the leg work and writing, but when you are done please do not submit them yourselves--schedule a meeting with Monroe!
