    Informational
    • Online Fundraising Strategy @Jeff
    • asked for comments on the documents-- add edits
    • how does this fix into the campaign and other focused attempts 
    • develop the 'process' of what are doing with fundraising and why 
    • Need to contextualize our procedures in the framework of a campaign. What worked/didn't work. What do we need to "end".
    • Need to quickly update website now, removing end of year language and recrafting the new message
    • Taking this down is easy but I haven't personally developed a strategy for what we replace it with - JN
    • Add things like thermometer, automated thank yous, etc.
    • I've found that Paypal can't do customized response emails. This has to be manually done. :( - JN
    • It's Ok for responses to come from PayPal for the transaction AND a specific thank-you from OpenMRS.   Donors like to be thanked.
    • My only apprehension with Paypal is that it isn't really scalable for these 'thank-yous' simply because each one has to manually sent and manually typed
    • Convert donors to recurring donors. Need to get these into Salesforce. Ensure thank yous but also how to build from existing to longer-term and larger donor support.
    • look for donor /fundraising support options for the future
