Also, be sure to have a strategy for driving people to your crowd funding p
age if you decide to go that route. So many people/start-ups are out there
online looking for $$ that it's easy to get lost in the crowd, so to speak.
Think about your online presence now, social media, e-mail lists, etc. How
are you going to let folks know that you have an online campaign going?

v0591684421 I have no experience, but It has been explained to me that with
some of these sources, if you do not meet your goal, you don’t rec
eive any of the money (the company gets to pocket it), so be careful to rea
d the fine print and research their terms. Jim Jim Draeger

Subject: Re: mini grant program Hi Janet, One quick ques
tion — has any society that you know of used an online source for s
oliciting donations? I have been looking at several: Ra
zoo, DirectoTo.org. Gofundme, classy, Indiegogo. One of the purp
oses behind the mini-grant application is to expand our donor base. I
was thinking going on-line would be one way to do that. I would appr
eciate your comments. Janet Geronime Acquisitions Task Force Chairma
