Rationale
We want to keep membership fees low while embracing innovation.
Markers
- A grant writing capacity is either developed in house (i.e. freeing up some portion of Executive Director or Assistant Director time) or outsourced.
- A proposal pipeline is developed based on SWAN priorities that can be matched against funding opportunities.
- An experiment is run with corporate sponsorship and cross-network branding, testing the hypothesis that SWAN can leverage its geographic and numerical scope to attract sponsors.
Guiding Principles
Start small and experiment in this effort. Build on success.
