We can do Generators in a more strategic
fashion, aligning ourselves with organizations who can
introduce us to new funders.
Generators aren’t necessarily fundable by
themselves, but they are an efficient way of us getting
smart, getting to know a lot of people and getting
introductions.
We need to develop more relationships with people who
are closely connected to funding.
We need to better match the opportunity to who we are
(as Caravan Studios and as TechSoup Global).
25. Caravan Studios is a division of
TechSoup Global, a 501(c)3 nonprofit
organization.
