From CFA: We're officially out of money.

EH Ernie Hsiung Public Seen by 375

Just got note from Chris at Code for America that Code for Miami is now officially out of pizza money. :(

So that means that we're going to have to start being proactive in fundraising. I'm currently in the process of writing a blog post to announce that we're raising money for both Code for Miami weekly hack nights as well as the umbrella organization - which I'm calling Open Miami - if we want to do any particular funding programs.

If anyone has any ideas on ways to fundraise, or can lend a hand writing a blog post, let me know.

EDIT: I should also point out I created an OpenCollective (like Patreon) to specifically for Code for Miami: https://opencollective.com/codeformiami - you can subscribe for as little as $2 a month.

I may be able to help in various ways.

  • I can edit things like blog posts and other appeals (though I don't assume it will be easy to raise $$ that way).

  • I may be helpful just thinking thru some strategy, tho really good fundraising requires a ruthlessness i admire but don't quite have

  • I think we could do some joint fundraising with Miami Open211. That's more complicated of course.
