• GEO CFP Support team is compiling a list of the primary national, regional and international funding organizations in their respective fields.
• Arrange meetings with funding organizations to solicit support for projects.
• Conduct special sessions at selected fora (e.g., GEO/EGIDA, APN, etc.) to educate the broader GEO community (and potential funding organizations) about this CFP.
The Way Forward
• Informational presentations and dossiers on sets of proposals
– what we are trying to accomplish
– the benefit to funding organizations
– the benefit to proposing organization
• Hoping to establish a CFP Donor Coordinator
The Way Forward
