SEDS-USA Director of External Affairs Jan06 Update
From SEDSWiki
Goals:
- Goals for this month were focused on Travel Fund: to generate a list of
both corporate and individual donors, and then create a 'first contact'
email so that people asking for funds would have a general form to follow.
Summary of Progress:
- Compiled list from everyone of corporate donors for matching-funds
fundraising and put this list on the wiki; received list of potential
individual donors from John; created sample first contact email
New Action Items Generated:
- Determine via the Exec board which conference(s) we are raising money for
first (to fit our strategy of telling donors right away what their money
is going to); contact alumni through Kirk with mass email to start
donation process; contact companies to start matching-funds process
Miscellaneous Comments:
- On the wiki page the goal (from 2005) for fundraising once Travel Fund was
set up was $10000. Good to keep this in the back of our heads.
