Hi Hans-Christoph and List,
Thinking out loud....
What about a proposal to NYSCA?
I think that Experimental TV Center has funds too - either of their
own or through NYSCA.
So far my experience has only been in proposals for individuals but I
think there's more funding available for organizations.
Other ideas - sponsors like Harvest Works or Eyebeam. Think they might contribute?
Best, p

Another approach is to have who ever is planning the next pd~conf
take control of the donations under the guise of whatever organization
that they are working for. I know Alexandre has talked about hosting
pd~conf at artengine in Ottawa, CA. They have non-profit status, so they
could accept donations tax-free (AFAIK). As for Brooklyn, I could do it
as part of Polytechnic University if that gives us tax-free status, or
another arts org that am affiliated with in NYC (there are a couple).I think this would be the way to go.
Then the last thing is, I don't think we are really going to get
so many donations. I've had my donate button up for years and I think I've received around US$250 in total.This might be a real problem. It would be sort of an experiment. I think it has chances to succeed, because you can be fully
transparent. Everyone knows what the money is used for, you can setup a webpage with the donations, how far away we are from the goal, etc.Maybe it can be combined with other fundings, which in this case would be donations too.
But don't know, as I said, not realy experienced in this matter.
