Fundraising Strategies

	Fundraising Strategies – How do we get money to fund the program?

Establish a non-profit account to accept donations and grants for digital inclusion.  -- As of March 5, 2007, this has been achieved through the creation of an MOU with the Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), "for accounting and fund management services for the Digital Inclusion Initiative of the City of Milwaukee."  So there is now a non-profit account which can accept funds for digital inclusion activities.

Create a governance mechanism (board) to oversee use of the funds.  (How do we do this?)

Develop materials to go to local foundations and companies to solicit funding.  Does anyone have any examples?
