<br>
going to the fundraiser website, I noticed that it is out of date:<br>
<br>
It still talks about Randa 2016 being in the future. Shouldn't it be updated,<br>
<br>
and instead of talking about what we _will_ do there, talk about what _has been done_<br>
<br>
there, and than changing the message to "If you want us to be able to continue doing<br>
<br>
such great things, please donate to fund future meetings."<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Thanks for reporting, I've now updated the webpage.<br></div><span class=""><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

It's not much of a surprise to me that a campaign focused on funding a specific<br>
<br>
meeting loses drive after that specific meeting is over. The meeting happened, so<br>
<br>
obviously we had enough money to do it, now why donate more for it?<br>
<br>
If we want the fundraiser to still be engaging, we have to change the message.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>While I agree this may demotivate some donors, I'm quite conviced the reason for not<br></div><div>reaching the goal isn't the one you pointed out.

Hi there,<br>
<br>
We've reached the last week for Randa Meetings 2016 fundraising [1]<br>
and we're completely behind the goal :( That's mostly because our<br>
audience depletes rapidly after some weeks and we lack some<br>
promotional device (and man-power/energy) to keep pushing it forward.<br>
<br>
Now we need to boost its last breath, for example by:<br>
<br>
- Writing a nice blog post, everyone is welcome to do that and even<br>
more for those of you who holds a quite popular blog. That's proven to<br>
be quite effective lately.<br>
- Promoting the campaign in regions other than Europe by translating<br>
and spreading.<br>
- If you were in Randa, telling what you achieved and call for donations.<br>
- Doing anything else you feel could help ..<br>
<br>
