Yes, to underpin Doug's question below, I find that more and more I am
working from a place of deep calling. That call doesn't take me into the
lucrative business world to fund the work of my heart. I have jumped in
with both feet between the cracks, not even with non-profits, but in calling
gatherings beyond the divides of organizational boundaries. It isn't
financially sustainable. Hence the question of how to attract the funds for
work that, according to its participants is of service to their field, but
requires far more time and energy than is reflected in the compensation. (In
fact, I jokingly say that in my experience, compensation is inversely
proportional to the complexity of the work. I find corporate work, with so
much established infrastructure, some of which is actually useful, much
easier than the work of reaching out to bring together the ecosystem of a
subject area, such as journalism, story, philanthropy, etc.
in inquiry,
Peggy

Subject: Re: [OSLIST] funding community work?
Harrison, Kerry and Raffi--
Thanks for your replies. They are great strategies and do answer the
question. They have suggested then a refinement of the question:
If we want to work exclusively or primarily in community work, what are
the sources of funding which are working for you today?
:- Doug.
