== Let's Build it Together: Sugar Labs' First Fundraiser ==

=== 2024 Spring ===

==== Purpose ====

One goal of the fundraiser is to create a solid foundation for Sugar Labs. Additional goals are working toward starting and hosting an annual "Sugar Code-In" and helping us have the financial means to further our own growth.

===== Goals =====

For this first fundraiser, we have multiple tiers of goals, which span from $50k-$225k. The more money we can raise, the more we can do with that money towards [[Welcome to the Sugar Labs wiki|our mission]].

We've broken our goal numbers into the following budget items:

* Funds for general operations for the next six months (presumably we’ll do a year-end fundraiser):
** $50k-75k
* Funds to launch a "Sugar Code-In" (over the winter months '24-'25):
** $20k-40k to (pay stipends for mentors and improve infrastructure to support this program)
* Budget for professional grant writing assistance:
** $5k-10k
* Budget for operational improvements:
** $25k-100k
