15A – Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 2

I will admit, I have not interviewed anyone, but I do have unexpected feedback that I would love to address here.

I am super thankful that some of you actually read about my ideas for my project (refresher: I make short films highlighting patients at Shands and I want to make a nonprofit out of that).

A great concern that you presented to me was:

"Who is actually going to donate to your nonprofit?? Everything looks promising until someone has to sign a check!"

I want to write here my plan for getting donations, but please tell me whether or not you think it's a good one. Please give me suggestions if you happen to have them!

What do I need the money for? I need it to survive, and to keep my website and software subscriptions active. Making a video of a patient and publishing it on Youtube costs me nothing given that I have already bought all the equipment.

With that being said, 25k/year is my minimum. Last year I got that through employment and scholarships. This year will be the same.

For the years to come, however, I am thinking of building an audience on Youtube, which will give me a chance to do something like Patreon maybe? No ads, though, I refuse to push annoying ads down people's throats.

I also plan to contact wealthy philanthropists, and maybe apply for grants. What do you think?
