So far, we only have one person proposed to be on the committee with any type of professional fundraising experience (volunteering for Wikimedia does not count). I would therefore like to make one last plea to anybody reading this that has any experience with fundraising for a non-profit. We *really* need at least a few people with relevant knowledge about any major aspect of this topic (seeking funds from individuals/companies/trusts, tax/reporting requirements, technical aspects of online fundraising systems and donor/sponsor management). Please sign up below (in the 'People interested in participating' section) and state what experience/training you have along with your preferred level of participation in the committee (full member, advisor, consultant or volunteer): http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_committee#People_interested_in_p… NOTE: Signing up does not guarantee any role above volunteer. -- mav __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
