Attracting monthly donors - follow up
- Creating a budget is a potential idea we might explore in the future. But don't want to do it right now
- We want to include the promise of more donations = more dedicated resource = get more done
- Instead of velocity, promise -> effective time management, prioritization, and focused action to achieve common goals
- A key term in the donation message is "long-term project sustainability".
- Chuck's idea: Our goal is 100% community participation. One way to participate is to donate. We believe that $XX is great way to get started. Any monthly amount helps the project go. Thank you for your consideration.
