 * Continually examine new avenues for earned income from hardware donations (through thrift store, new lines of equip, legacy, etc.)
 * Increase and improve materials/pitch for donations from people coming in the door, I think we can increase this amount without a great deal of expense or effort.
-* Once the long term plan is in place and needs that require additional funding are identified, I offer to sit down to look at each category and decide which makes sense for foundation funding, major donors, etc. Discussion of connections between [[long term planning|Long_Term_Planning]] and fundraising can be found here: [[Meta Fund Raising]].

 * Equipment Fees
 *: This is income from fees charged for donating certain items, like CRT monitors.  It would be good to carefully track this to see if the fee is actually covering the total cost of handling the monitors.
