2. strategy going forward

• • three parallel strategies:
    • 1) organizing inner circle
    • 2) reaching wider audience
    • 3) hosting events and stunts
  • exercises:
    • to raise $70,000 by Dec 12, we need just 2,000 people donating $35 on average (and campaigns with more than 150 donors generally succeed because of the snowballing effect)
    • so, let's draft lists: take 15min to list individuals and organizations that might donate, noting why they might want to, how much $, and how likely
  • top priorities:
    • coordinating Omni collectives
    • enrolling campaign "host committee"
    • soliciting high net-worth individuals
    • leveraging press contacts
    • leveraging local partners/org relationships
    • hosting excellent events
    • securing grants

3. action

• • bottom-lining various priorities?
  • weekly work and play?
