Fundraising Discussion

  • Susan: Plan B - exploratory convo with EBprec to buy the building
    • Silver: Last time EBprec visited delegates meeting (Nov 22?), they got a poor impressions. Open to re-exploring
      • Patrik: delegates should be briefed well in advance if they are coming, so people know to be on their best behavior
  • Susan: bringing in more space for events and tenants; small amount of $ for repairs and beautification could go a long way. Outreach coordinator. Revamp website - progress? Need to get word out how great Omni is.
  • New crowdfunding campaign being planned on https://givebutter.com/
  • Strategic planning: short and long term goals
  • Grants: both capital costs and programming
  • John: reaching out to EBprec worth doing - raising $900+K by Decemebr challenging
    • Susan: EBprec is also oversubscribed - not certain
  • Silver: Website update: approved $2K to work on it. Rayyan may not be the one to do it. Someone from TANC? Not contracted anyone yet.
    • Next steps? Find someone to do it! Suggestions?
  • Susan: need to collect testimonials from everyone on why Omni is important
  • Strategic planning around governance structure about 10 years ago, it would be good to rethink it as donors and funders do not look favorably on non-traditional structures like ours. If we want to move into successful grantseeking and financing on a larger scale

Outreach coordinator hiring process

  • Silvia: Hoping to interview top candidates within a month, and get someone hired

TANC membership proposal

  • Proposal to move into room that GWS and CSC were using - they have agreed to release that room
  • Proposal discussion at a previous delegates meeting here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2023/07/06_Delegates#TANC_Member_Collective_Application
  • Geraldo: BOGSS had concern about diversity in leadershio, would like to interview some rank and file BOGSS members
    • Silver: would like to hold other collectives to that same standard, before we impose it on new groups
    • Patrik: Reasonable request, would like to see this wrapped up in time for next delegates meeting
  • Geraldo has contact info for Daniel and Carlos and will follow up
  • Jacqi: I have to jump off- being that TANC has been in the building twice a month for a while I’d definitely support them coming in for the month and waiting on further getting to know each other as organizations if that feels good to everyone.

Print Shop application

  • Daniel: About 15 members. Leadership = membership. About 1/3 overlaps w TANC, but separate organization. TANC pays as a 16th member of print shop
  • Kai: may I ask what the rest of the print shop membership consists of?
    • FTP, prison zine project, other small projects
  • Daniel: No online presence. Bylaws currently being drafted. ANV room looks interesting, but takes time for consensus vote on print shop side.
