The Fundraising Working Group (aka 'Buy the Building' aka 'Until the Revolution' Working Group) focuses on fundraising campaigns and negotiations toward buying the building. Fundraising works closely with Finance and Communications to develop short- and long-term strategies for increasing our cashflow. While the bulk of income pursued is through charitable means (donor solicitations, grant-writing, benefit events, etc;), the group is open to all creative ideas for raising capital so long as they do not compromise the project's overarching [[Values]].

* At the end of 2015, we secured an anonymous $1 million donor (contingent on purchasing the property) and began negotiations with a potential $1 million lender (who unfortunately backed out of the deal in late February of 2016) and the [http://bayareaclt.org/ Bay Area Community Land Trust].
