Unfortunately this idea died on the vine.


====== FreeFree.ps Fundraising Plan ======
**__Raising Funds for Palestine and Lebanon__**

===== Goals =====
To raise funds for organizations doing work in Palestine as well as Palestinians who have reached out requesting support.
Out of several fundraising ideas that have been proposed this plan will focus on one idea to start with: selling t-shirts designed in Palestine with all of the proceeds going to Palestine. We believe that by doing this with full transparency we will distinguish ourselves from other t-shirts for Palestine on the market where an unclear amount of proceeds are donated to unknown causes.

===== Organizations =====
These are the organizations that we will raise funds for. We want to focus on organizations on the ground in Palestine and Lebanon. Other organizations may be added if they are doing work directly in Palestine.

==== Glia ====
[[https://glia.org/|Glia]]

Glia develops technology like 3D printable medical equipment for deployment to blockaded areas like Gaza. This year they have started sending medical expeditions to Gaza where they have established a clinic.

===== People =====
In addition to raising money for the above organizations, we will help promote and donate to campaigns for individuals and families seeking aid in Palestine and Lebanon.

==== Mega Fundraiser ====
There are so many people in Gaza who are desperate for help. Every family has their own GoFundMe, and everyone is competing with each other for attention.

What if instead there was a fundraiser that benefited many families all working together? This could be a lot more effective, and maybe we can develop a model that can be reproduced over and over again in Gaza instead of trying to scale up to on giant fundraiser for everyone.

This [[Mega Fundraiser]] idea should have its own page.
===== Budget =====
==== List of Information Required ====
  *How many t-shirts to start with for first order, how to gauge demand?
  *Get a quote from ethical, sustainable suppliers
  *Determine overhead costs of online store, distribution

===== Timeline =====
The original goal was to have a t-shirt ready for the December 2024 holiday season but as the scope and content of the project has evolved the timeline has grown too. The timeline will be updated as the project evolves.

===== Activities =====
==== Research ====
=== T-shirt Design ===
The plan is to make a design inspired by Intifada dresses that I will embroider by hand. We will then scan the finished work and reproduce it by silkscreen onto t-shirts to sell.

=== T-Shirt Manufacturing ===

=== Organizational Partner ===
We are an ad hoc group of individuals that cannot enter into contracts with suppliers and vendors. We either need to find an organization to partner with and take this project under its wing or look and incorporating into a not-for-profit organization ourselves.
