Well this is Wikimedia specific and the kind of thing that we need a chapter to do.
Wikipedia really doesn't play into it.

You might consider making a more general project, one less Wikipedia-specific, then.
There's a lot of good free culture work beyond Wikipedia and its sister projects,
especially here in California. That would give you a wider potential membership base.
Or you could also do something independent and very schools-focused, partnering with the
Wikimedia Foundation as needed. A more focused effort like that would be easier to explain
to grant-givers, and could give you a better in with foundations focused on California
education.
