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 our mission.

For transparency, we're putting 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
