Cooperative Life Board
and Membership
Cautiously interested--they don't have
a lot of money to fund a big project
right now, but if this scheme were
viable, it would fit right into their
mission.
+ ?
Very strong. If they are not in
favor, I cannot go ahead with the
project.
H
/ I presented a one-page
proposal of the idea to the
annual meeting of the
membership on November 13
for a vote. Attendees at the
meeting decided that at least
looking into this idea would be
valuable.
Cooperative
Development Institute
Cautiously interested--this is the
organization that spawned Coop Life,
and also provides staff for it. Any
extra work would fall on them. Also,
they would be a source of general co-
op expertise, regional knowledge, and
grantwriting expertise. If the scheme
brought in money, that could help
them. The scheme (if it works) is
within their mission.
+ ?
Very strong. If they are not
supportive, getting things done
will be difficult.
H /
Because I am doing this project
for school, I am willing to
devote volunteer hours to it.
When it gets time to write a
business plan and funding
proposals, I will be sure to
write in money for CDI staff
time and overhead.
