Notes
How do we diversify our revenue streams?
- We can't have a homogeneous revenue stream, what are other ways that we can gather money.
- grants
- services
- membership
- donors (maybe? is this really possible)
- Migration services - this was something orgs mentioned they would be interested in during the IMLS Planning grant.
- Consulting services - is this something that orgs need or do they need this higher up the stack?
What are the benefits that organizations get for membership?
- This is essential for us to continue to keep members.
- Perhaps discounts on services
What are the benefits that we get as part of our relationship with LYRASIS? How can we can communicate these benefits more broadly?
- Grant support; our 42% helped us get the IMLS grant this year.
- What is the plan for this coming fiscal year?
What are some strategies that we can employ to rethink our business model?
- Reaching out to folks outside the Fedora community that have thought through these things. e.g. Katherine Skinner
- Employing focusing on the ITAV Framework to help us work through these issues.
