A crash course in changing the world.
4. Money: The First $1000
If this project received were granted funding I would propose using the first $1000 in the following four activities:
4.1 Team Building
Though this may not represent sizable monetary expenditure, the recognition of receiving a World Bank Institute grant would greatly help in attracting support for further project development. I would immediately set to work formulating an advisory board consisting of individuals with experience in the library administration, online education initiatives, design and implementation of open building systems, knowledge of ground conditions in specific locations in Africa suitable for charter libraries, and the representatives from individual companies that could be allied to provide the basic support infrastructure.
4.2 Web Presence
Establish an initial web site that would serve as a go-to point for basic information regarding the project, instructions for how to participate, and facilitate the receiving of donations.
4.3 Fund Raising
Create a basic fundraising strategy that would support short-term goals necessary for launching the project. Produce the necessary literature or mailings that would secure the necessary capital to allow the project to move forward.
4.4 Establish Non-Profit
Any remaining funds would go toward the registration fees for filing 501c3 non-profit status in the United States.
