While a full fledged, purpose built platform, it is a gateway to a much bigger vision for funding schools.
Threefold Purpose
-
- Create Supplemental funding for schools with the with least amount of time, effort, investment, or development (all of which distract from actual funding)
- Grow supporter base in communities so that Fundraising 4.0 can be launched. Need about 1,000 supporters in a community, which can be achieved by 1 school, or multiple in close proximity.
- Generate the funding necessary to launch and optimize Fundraising 4.0. The optimal technical implementation of 4.0 is estimated to cost between $400k and $500k. Fundraising 4.0 is the ultimate goal for every school and community with potential funding of over $36B possible and provides many years of growth for school programs.
