Some thoughts: * For the 501(c)(3) registration, have you considered using pro-bono counsel? Wikimedia NYC and Wikimedia DC have benefitted from free legal consulting for our respective application processes, and a lot of law firms offer these pro bono services for tiny upstart nonprofits.
* Museum passes: will people need museum passes if they’re just going to the event? Have you considered getting museum passes as an in-kind donation? * WikiConference USA already has a scholarship program. We plan to award a lot of scholarships; I imagine anyone from Oregon and Washington who wants to go would be able to. * Are you offering to run Summer of Monuments out of Wikimedia Cascadia? If so, you have my full support! * Who are you going to hire at 5 hours/week? I see you’ve accounted for federal payroll taxes, suggesting this will be a payroll employee instead of a contractor. Be sure to also account for Washington taxes, if applicable. — James Hare President, Wikimedia DC http://wikimediadc.org @wikimediadc On Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 2:55 AM, Pine W wrote: > Please comment here: > > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/UG_US-CWUG/2015_Annual_Plan > > I will set up a conversation with Alex in a week or two to discuss the plan, > including any comments made on the Meta page. > > Thanks! > > Pine > > This is an Encyclopedia (https://www.wikipedia.org/) > One gateway to the wide garden of knowledge, where lies > The deep rock of our past, in which we must delve > The well of our future, > The clear water we must leave untainted for those who come after us, > The fertile earth, in which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many > hands, > And the broad fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how > much we do not know. > —Catherine Munro > > > _______________________________________________ > Wikimedia-Cascadia mailing list > [email protected] > (mailto:[email protected]) > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-cascadia > >
