Agenda
- Welcome and introductions
- Changes to agenda
- Charter
- Is the overall description acceptable?
- Is the timeframe for the deliverables realistic?
- 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.
- Membership: Given our brief, are there any other individuals we feel it would be useful to ask to join us?
- Immediate tasks
- Date of next call
- What day(s) are best for people?
- Dates for the next two or three calls?
- FYI: Richard is away 11-19 December but probably he or Jon should be part of the next call having experience of Partner fundraising over the last few years?
NOTES (Ryan):
-whatever goes out in the fundraising call - compatible with broader fundraising effort, wording in emails doesn't cross work of others
-there is a newly minted contribution WG and a marketing WG
-need to have something in place by February as DuraSpace starts their outreach
-by End of January - Steering is the 24th or 25th - doesn't need to be a formal report (can possibly just tell them where we're at)
-March 31 - actively seek sponsorship for Connect conferences - challenge of who is trying to sponsor
Partner meeting in April - have most of the work done and ready to recommend as a draft document
Do we want rolling feedback? Sufficient to put out a summary email after each call? Invite comment. May want to work toward interim and take comment in one go.
We need to be bringing in $500K/ annually - to pay for expenses
DLF October 13th-17th, so Connect will likely not be in October
Is there anyone else we could possibly bring in? - anyone with fundraising experience?
SCOPE of January info and what we'll report back on -
Wednesdays for meeting time - preferably early - Richard away 12th and 19th - urgency around Partners fundraising for next year - pencil in the 19th (if Jon can make it) - try for the 12th? - Reach out to Jon, see if 12th or 19th works -
After Christmas - 9th of January? Work out next time
Immediate task is fundraising - Richard share sort of email that went out in the past - list of contributors - range of donations with numbers beside
Start thinking about to whom and how we reach out to big sums of money
membership model - may lose members - never charge (legal statements) - something we'd want to consider very carefully who can provide staff but not
Talk to Rosy about - putting together a list of partners, who was the person who signed the checks? Made the financial decision. She's in the process of looking. (AI: reach out to Rosy)
this group, start with a brainstorming of who we might approach to give money as a sponsor?
AI: provide list of possible sponsors (vendors, anyone else who might sponsor...) Service providers -
Look at DuraSpace model - registered service providers
AI: Team Drive (Richard will do)
Initial thoughts for sponsorship for Connect - whether or not Samvera Connect is a way to raise funds
Sponsors for event - could effectively charge same amount but offset cost
Jess's poster info (room and vendor fair)

Raffle, interaction, cross over in product with our community, Google Cloud, AWS, exposed to so many higher ed institutions in one go
Code4Lib - difficulty getting sponsors - is there a strict sponsorship audience? Canvas communities to see how that's gone for them
Try for 9th January and then a Doodle for after January 9
