How come Neighbors for Neighbors needs money now, you have not asked before?
First, Ning, the company that develops the social networking platform we use generously donated the monthly fees on our networks for a year. The year is over. Thanks again Ning!
Second, last year we applied for a bunch of grants. None came through, even the one we totally thought we'd get, we did not. Wicked Bummer.
Third. We have no funding sources. We're neighbor powered, and now we need to be neighbor funded too. With more than 3200 neighbors in the networks, we can keep this going for years to come. Please chip in!
How much money does Neighbors for Neighbors need?
- Minimum: We need $6,000 alone just to keep all networks operating for one more year.
- To make due: $6,000 more dollars will cover all of our current general operating expenses.
- Ideally: $125,000 to staff our operation and cover all expenses. We'll take that on next.
- A block consists of all homes/plots on one street between two adjacent cross streets.
- There can be multiple mayors on a street, only if there are multiple blocks.
- There can only be One Mayor per block.
- There is nothing to oversee. All you have to do is donate. If you want to get more involved, great, otherwise, your financial support is what we need.
- First donor is the Mayor for one year.
- Subsequent donors will be offered the title of Deputy Mayor but not have mayoral privileges.
Special thanks to Michelle C and Ning Y for editing and David K for making the graphic!
