A comprehensive list of MF and SENSF-related Facebook causes is available here (near the bottom of the page).Recorders minute:
brokenportal to collate a list of 'donatable' causes,
caliban to implement
Florin, thats a pretty big list you linked to there. Theres some great stuff in there and its inspiring to see. I have some questions. If your interested then help us see what we might be able to make of these lists for an ImmInst fund raiser page.
Possible fund raiser ideas:
Give here to ImmInst in general and we will put it to use on the next most pressing projects.
Become a life time member for $500, or a monthly member at other rates.
Give $100 to ImmInst only when 1,000 people total agree to this. July 2010 deadline.
Ablation of Lipofuscin Research fund raiser. Donate by August 17th so this vital research can achieve its full $16,000 matching grant.
Dedicated research fund raiser. Donate here to provide money to future research when a specific research project fund raiser isn’t being held at ImmInst.
The Longevity Meme Folding @ Home Team prize system fund raiser. Donate to increase the funds in this prize incentive.
ImmInst volunteer prize system fund raiser. Donate to increase the funds in this prize incentive.
VIP outreach book and misc. drive. Donations will be used to buy more books and miscellaneous incentives in working to get through to VIP’s about the cause.
ImmInst Member back up Cryonics fund raiser. Give to this fund to provide emergency cryonics money to ImmInst members nearing their death beds. (could be part of a “helping members” fund raiser section.)
Art Team fund raiser. Donate to this fund to secure resources for the art team to build bigger and better things.
The ImmInst Sunday Evening Update internet broadcast. Donate here to help improve the studio, equipment and various other aspects of this growing and informative news source for the cause.
The first list there are things that it seems could be created by linking them up to the account.
The following are ideas that would be harder to implement, need some work, and need more discussion and consideration.
TEME, AGI for indefinite lifespans, undergraduate research grant and scholarship fund raiser. (why cant this just start as a small program with an imminst drupal page, that brings this institute more needed credit, and funds one project, open bio mind, for now?)
Peer Reviewed Journals. Give to this fund so that we can provide the most relevant peer reviewed journals to a qualified science forum. (would have to agree to set up a science invite only section, and then look at what else might be better to fund for it, or in addition to this. Ie, maybe dedicated research funds as an incentive for it?)
Give to the leeep vision fund raiser. Support this marketing plan that combines a variety of projects with the objective of reaching 200 million people with in 5 years of implementation. (needs a team of people to do research on this and plot out a lot of details, its being done by default little by little through imminst team projects, but it seems a more comprehensive vision will be able to inspire more and larger donations, and time and resources.)
Mprize @ Home, donate to provide materials to future participants. (I think that such a fund might be just what this project needs as a next step to get off the ground, but Im not sure.)
Publish our newsletter/ zine, (seems like it would work for sure if we collaborated with H+, Have some of their writers laison with us, give their magazine an imminst section and then we could help them publish and send it out on the net and in the mail perhaps)
Donate to any of the other organizations here: (page with sens, cel, heales, etc..maybe like, one sponsored special feature rotating through here like once a month?)
To all, please give your ideas, we can continue to brainstorm on and discuss this list.
