Omni Commons Kitchen Fundraising Meeting - Monday, Sep 25, 2017 @ 7pm

attendees

  • robb, toan, sierk, anka, jenny, gerald, laura, phil, joe, dk

grant opportunities

  • laura: fnb, phat beets, & liblens are all 501c3s / projects of 501c3s. different grant collaborations possible, multiple grants could cover the costs. came up with maybe 6 or 7 potential grants. would like help writing the grants. need to look at the 'sell' for each grant and how to portray the collaboration
    • gerald: cites 'the revolution will not be funded' re: nonprofit industrial complex. ensure no funds go to individuals, and also that some percentage of any grants received goes to the omni. fight against alienation, keep things egalitarian wrt participation.
  • joe: different grants for different parts of the kitchen?
    • laura: based on what they want to fund..
      • jenny: for CAST grant, had a specific $40K line item budget, but also included the larger budget
  • laura: need someone from each group to be grant-writing contact
    • jenny: can reach out to helen from fnb about that
  • dk: discretionary year-end grants from Rainin Foundation... informal process, reach out to their board. East Bay Community Foundation has $10K grants available, talked omni up a lot. think they would be receptive. Health Dept worksheets for info.

video

  • robb got some video clips from Waffles & Zapatismo as well as Fermentation Station. BAAM footage not taken as was a general meeting format.
  • current length is 3:24
  • gerald: don't let rerecord of audio slow us down - if we can do it with 1 is ok, 2 is ok..
  • phil: get clips of greg doing sunday meal.. wow..
  • joe: maybe put the pitch at the beginning, or the middle
  • phil: tempo seems a little fast, too much going by too quickly
  • robb: will look into a teleprompter app

black spots

  • "Well as good fortune had it...
  • Radically Sharing Temescal image - someone standing & talking here, or walking inside the building
  • "We are a group of 10 collectives..." change to CCL, Chiapas, Phat Beets, ABDC
  • "small and deteriorated kitchen in the omni" - have someone sitting in the kitchen talking about it
  • "the mission of the omni can be fulfilled in many new ways with a modern, commercial kitchen on site" - shot of the plan drawing, maybe some bills / showrooms, possibly footage of another kitchen (eg St Johns)
  • "imagine how phat beets, our food justice collective, would benefit from such a kitchen..."
  • "omni commons would have the greatly increased income potential of a ballroom"
  • "was once filled with laughter and delicious aromas" - joe serving food out the serving window in a chef's hat

plans / budget

from dk

"I have prices for commercial kitchen work from tamarack some of which would be very similar for what omni needs. Ie new greasetraps, boiler, stoves, sinks / appliances / fixtures, new floor & wall surfacing

  • you should get quote from ricky or ALBA glass for windows
  • Should also get quote for dumbwaiter to basement just careful not to overlap with the only place an elevator could go
  • Can't use existing greasetraps & should determine if psl was in fact installed with backflow preventer valve or not.. not sure that was determined but omni kitchen would need.
    • That psl permit actually may be expired ie didn't have a final, chad was in hospital and I couldn't get thru to him"
