I agree with the folks that suggested just sending in a donation: that way, it's tax deductible (since Benetech is a qualified charity). And, every donation does help Bookshare.org. That being said, Benetech's staff tend to focus our personal limited fund raising efforts on larger donations. Right now, we only have me and Peggy Gibbs doing fund raising work for all of Benetech's projects. So, we write proposals to foundations for grants in the $25,000 to $250,000 zone for specific project extensions. We also meet with high net worth individuals to make donations in the $5,000 and up range: this is an area that we're getting ready to scale up since we've done little of this in the past. Having good service on donations is important to us, just as having good service for Bookshare.org is important. When we get to high volume transactions, we try to automate. We've built a "Donate Now" functionality for Bookshare.org, but haven't promoted it enough. It provides a list of the kinds of things we are seeking funding for.
