Dana,
I suggest we increase fundraising by empowering our donors and giving them more choices of how to contribute, as we are planning to do at the national level (see message from LP chair Geoff Neale below). Then instead of making a new pitch for money every week (which would surely be annoying to many recipients), we can simply update our website frequently with new projects to which people can donate, and let people know when a new project is added. What do you think?
If ExCom members are interested, I can let the Libertarian National Committee know that we would be interested in using the Libertarian Angels platform at the state level, as Geoff suggests may be eventually implemented, although per the bottom-up principle I would only recommend such a partnership if it is set up so that we can retain state-level control over our page there. Alternately, we could explore enabling crowdfunding directly via the LPC website.
Until we get a high-tech system going that allows donors to view and donate to projects on the web, I suggest we write fundraising emails that each list a number of projects to which people can make targeted donations. I'm willing to assist in the writing of such emails.
Love & Liberty,
