Program Basics
- Program Name: Media and Volunteer Outreach Program
- Program Description: This program would systematize outreach to media outlets and social-change organizations in order to better maintain and increase Free Geek's impact in these areas. Outreach would encourage increased money and/or hardware donations, volunteer recruitment, or general awareness depending on Free Geek's need at the time.
- What best describes this program? Administrative
- Primarily income generating (expected to make money for Free Geek)
- Primarily meets program needs (expected to cost more money than it makes)
- Administrative (expected to support other programs that generate income and/or meet program needs)
- Why does Free Geek need this program? We've begun to experience a plateau in general awareness of our programs. This program would create a more efficient means of getting the word out about Free Geek, and therefore bring in more money, hardware, and volunteers. It would also create more organized record keeping of our acheivements, which would in turn add supportive materials to our grantwriting and fundraising processes.
