8. John Stupak, Fundraising
The Fundraising & Finance Committee is preparing to launch a "drip campaign" targeting donors outside our community. 5 email drafts are currently under review (thanks to Karri for making a first pass at revisions!), which will soon be sent out to ~100k potential donors that we identified in coordination with a consultant. We hope to begin sending the emails this week, with one email going out every few days. In parallel, we will develop a few more emails to send out to potential donors (after the initial batch).
There are minutes attached to this event.
