Working Group sunsetted at the end of 2019. A new Fundraising Team was set up in 2020.
Scope & Objectives
The Samvera Partners have agreed upon the desirability of having one or two dedicated staff to further the work of the Community. It is suggested that one be a Community Manager and one a Technical Manager. We are advised that the costs of employing someone in these roles likely ranges between $165k and $210k per year each. Such funding requirements are considerably beyond Samvera's income at the present time and would be in addition to the Community's regular outgoings. At the Partner Meeting in Salt Lake City (October 2018), the Samvera Steering Group was asked to charter a Working Group to consider Samvera's fund raising activities and to make recommendations aimed at attracting a much greater income stream.

- February 28th 2019: Recommendations, including suggested texts, for an approach to 2019's fundraising amongst Samvera Partners and Supporters, complementary to a wider fundraising effort. If practicable, an interim, or draft, report by January 23rd would be helpful for consideration at the Samvera Steering Group Winter Retreat.
- March 31st, 2019: Report on the desirability of Sponsorship for Samvera Connect and, if appropriate, practical approaches to attracting it (the timing is in order to inform the Connect 2019 planning process)
- Partner meeting April 2019: Interim report for feedback outlining the likely recommendations for a wide fundraising effort
- June 30, 2019: Final, integrated report combining all the above into an annual cycle. Fundraising WG: Final Report to Partners_ October 2019.pdf
Following the review of the FWG's final report by Partners, a decision will be taken to sunset the Group or to ask it to undertake further work.
