==Fundraising Basics==<br />
* Start with:<br />
** One clear goal <br />
** Specific needs and $ requirements<br />
** Deadline<br />
<br />
* Strategies:<br />
** Inner circle - direct, personal asks - people you trust and have intimate relationships with<br />
** Wider audience - people who catch wind of it, you don't have direct access to them for this goal<br />
** Events and stunts - bumper stickers, fliers, bake sales, ways to reach strangers and get press<br />
<br />
<br />
* 30%-60% of what you need for your goal you should already have direct access to.<br />
** i.e. you should already have tested the waters<br />
** Visibility of support - early support generates more faith in success<br />
<br />
* Notes on Kickstarters (in general): <br />
** Products are usually more successful than causes<br />
** In other examples of collectives using Kickstarters, private investors were largely the people "donating"<br />
** Great marketing tool<br />
** Kickstarter itself doesn't allow real estate projects - other crowdfunding platforms do<br />
** What do we need to tell the audience, what do they want to know?<br />
<br />
* Conversations with private donors:<br />
** Elicit rather than solicit interest<br />
** Meet them where they're at <br />
** Demonstrate pride and knowledge<br />
** Find out if they have any advice and their opinions on the projects<br />
<br />
