fundraising

The Drupal Association has been working hard to diversify its revenue streams.

I would like to put forth a proposal called DAADS (Drupal Association Ads).

Hello everybody,

we are trying to implement the 5 motivators of giving, as shared by in the TED Talk of Taylor Conroy - How to Build a School in 3 Hours (worth watching, 19min) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC02SmuOxYI . The motivators are: Group Mentality, Tangible Outcome, Microgiving, Personal Connection and Recognition. We believe that these are indeed motivators and we want to integrate them in the CiviCRM Personal Campaigns.

Who are we and what we are doing?

EDIT: Please delete this post. Didn't mean to spam the group.

Hey all I have just posted a wiki page to hold the specifications for a proposed module.

Please do read the wiki and let me know what you all think.

The proposed module would build upon the concepts and based off of the functionality of these previous modules:

http://drupal.org/project/uc_atctweaks
http://drupal.org/project/uc_echecknet

Last week at the meeting, I took a few minutes to discuss the Organizing Committee for Drupal Camp Utah 2012. Here's the gist of the discussion.

I've identified a few of the areas that we could use volunteers in the committee:

Below is the draft for the various sponsorship levels for Florida DrupalCamp 2011. If anyone has any comments and/or suggestions, please let me know ASAP. I'd like to begin approaching potential sponsors later this week.

I've incorporated several major changes to the sponsorship opportunities compared to last year's Florida DrupalCamp. They are:

• Addition of a "Diamond" level - limited to a single sponsor for the event.
• Addition of an "Individual" level
• Increased the sponsorship amounts - last year the vast majority of the sponsors were at the $500 level

We're trying to raise $495 so we can get a DimDim pro account whichwill support 100 simultaneous users in a single room. Click here to ChipIn.

The $99 version lets you have 100 total users, but only 20 to any given room. Click "details" on the DimDim product page next to "Annual Price" to see what we're talking about.

Hi, one of my Drupal friends suggested I post this here.

About The Collaboration Foundation

I'm glad Darren Oh has got a solid proposal for this group. I would suggest that the most needed aspect of a Drupal marketplace would be a way for individual Drupal users and Drupal shops – especially smaller shops – to pool resources to fund specific module development.

User dahacouk called for more structure and a funding model to make the quality of contributed modules the best they can be.

To quote from my endorsement and proposal:

Before initiating a fundraising campaign, there are five important questions you’ll need to answer as mentioned in How to Use the Internet for Group Fundraising.

What issue does your campaign target?
Where is the money going to go?
Who can you ask for financial support?
When do you need to meet the fundraising goal?
How are you going to convince people to support the campaign?
