[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 397362, member: 265"] I commented before on the "silent phase –> public phase" structure of these kinds of funding efforts. It really isn't that unusual for people who you would think would be on board to be clueless about a silent campaign; I used to run into that pretty commonly among our staff and alums when we did this kind of thing. Looks like a much more splashy public phase is now being readied. That fits too; you get the initial funding and then you a) go to the less likely contributors and ask them to get on the bandwagon and b) go to the big donors, show them the enthusiast response in the first round ("And all we did was send out a single e-mail!"), and tell them that, if they put up the money, the match will be there. (I tried to work [I]Field of Dreams[/I] into that, but it didn't sing.) To the Son Rising: I wouldn't be too bent out of shape about communications at this stage. If the big splash comes along and you get the same lackadaisical response, [I]then[/I] we have something to worry about. [/QUOTE]
