Write concept email to potential sponsors

Please post it here and make a ticket so Cristobal can make it.

The About Us looks decent enough to me. From what I understand, there is a "Donate" button still missing to be implemented, but apart from that, I would say is ready to be used.

How far along is the landingpage to send to Franz?

Open Institute Fundraising Video Script: 


[Delta D sitting in a spot by the lake] 

I’m here in beautiful Lake Aititlan, Guatemala and am excited to share about our new platform - Open Institute. 

OI makes it easier for projects to receive funding.

OI is a 501(c) non-profit platform that helps to facilitate community financing and coordinate humanitarian projects. Using our website, we have been able to process over $30,000 in funding for education, food and medical supplies.

Now, we began development on an open-sourced mobile app and new social platform. 

[Hold the phone up to the camera]
[show screens within app] 
[Reasons it is useful:]

- Easy access to fundraising w/ free donation button [no-fees] 
- Project internal chat/communication [keep it all in one place] 
- Separation between personal & project communication
- To-do Management [with alerts] - Expense + income tracking 
- Censorship-free 

[Back to D]

With the app, fundraising/donating will be more accessible to an ever wider audience. In order to make this happen, additional funding is needed to finish the app development, before it’s able to launch. 

Within the next couples months, with your donations, we will launch the app! 

If you want to volunteer or sponsor OI, please go to the Open Institute Fundraising page, notice the Donate button on your upper right, and contact us tab, if you want to get involved.

I will just need a brief description of what the task is, you'd like me to start with. I know we discussed writing copy for the 'thank you' email to go out to all former donors, explaining how Open Institute is evolving, and requesting donations to continue development on the mobile app. I can start working on a rough draft later this afternoon.

Now, im in 👍🏼

There it is!
