We do, but not as openly and intensively as we could. There's a Donate
button on the front page,  and the big bold "Next we buy the building" on
the front page links to the Donate page as well.

Anything beyond that takes sustained personal effort: writing grants,
networking, attending events where we can talk with potential donors,  etc.

That is exactly what the fundraising working group is doing. We just need
to be doing more of it,  which means more people attending the fundraising
wg, and putting personal effort into all of these angles.

Adam - if you are particularly good at doing this kind of networking (not
everybody is!), I'm sure the fundraising wg would appreciate your help...
