Components fundraising campaign for 2025
- A project for this group for 2025
- Notes from the Board call:
  - Starting with a way to contribute small dollars easily to a general fund. For institutions like museums and others who have been open to contribute based on their use of Clover IIIF, Ramp, etc. Even some for profit organizations in other parts of the ecosystem (museums)
  - How to reach these users is new to us? How would an institution or organization to contribute (some likely needing an invoice, some could just use a credit card)
  - Good to have a prominent place on the website that is “Support Samvera” with partnership, one-time donation, and other ways to participate in the community
  - We know we will have times in the future where we do specific fundraising
  - We will need mechanisms to contribute, and ways to reach out to these users
  - Can also include this option at virtual Connect, and potentially on GitHub, and on component websites
  - Could we make suggestions about the amount of contributions? How would we define those
December meeting? Scheduled for December 18th.
