Step 1: Generate Initial Funding
Funds are needed to "jump-start" our organization (website, legal, brand/presence) as well as build up inventory to fund projects. A GoFundMe will help build up an inventory of materials (mostly books).
Target Date: End of 2020
Step 2: Accept Application Proposals & Fund Projects
Through an application process, we'd like to send out materials to teachers on a need-basis during the next school year.
Target Date: 2020-2021 School Year
Step 3: Create Long-Term Sustainability Model
Create an online store, partner with other businesses, apply for grants, and create fundraising events to ensure the longevity of this project.
Target Date: Early 2021
Step 4: Create Open-Source Portal for Educators
Create an online tool for teachers to voluntarily upload original content (lesson plans, curriculum ideas, and etc.) for fellow educators.
Target Date: Summer 2021
Step 5: Fund Larger Community-Based Projects
A long-term goal of ours is to help fund, through grants, educational and extra-curricular experiences directly related to our cause. We'd also like to create a Scholarship Fund.
Target Date: 2021-2022 School Year
