Agenda and notes
Review to-do's from May meeting
Group discussed current state of income from this year's fundraising drive amongst Partners. Slightly more than 50% of hoped-for income in as at 10th June. RG will request a further update from Lyrasis in time to inform our next call.
RG has published the Contribution Model terms on the wiki and linked it from the website.
JD has recently made an announcement as Chair of Steering
CC's fundraising contact is willing to talk to the group but has little experience of the library world. JD has a fundraising contact with experience of raising money for libraries (but not a community). KK's brother has fundraising experience but not really relevant to our needs. CC to ask her contact to have a brainstorming session with us in a special call. JD to speak to his contact.
Discussion of other funding sources and funding targets
Need to have focused options for fundraising before we can approach funding agencies with any hope of a positive response. The Partner & Roadmap Council call on July 10th is pivotal to this. We should devote all our next call (7/14) to working on this and making our own synthesis of the issues (in addition to any synthesis the RC might offer).
CC clarified her suggestion of a target from a previous call; suggests we should aim to bring in (say) $50k in addition to our Partner income. Will check to see if there is a science behind such targets - a 20%, 30% addition etc.
Next meeting
