Agreed. My opinion is that calling the Glowing Plant project a "community" project, however potentially misleading, was a critical factor in its success. Biocurious' reputation was critical: I feel some recognition and support is due in return.

Hopefully not too touchy

1. It would appear  that some of that $484,000 raised for the glowing plant project should go to Biocurious, if for no other reason than the affiliation was used to market the project. (not sure of the value of this marketing)  What's  up with this?

2.  Are you a 501C3 yet?  This might be an avenue to get more donations, if that is the model for funding.

I guess that I am worried about an organization whose participants do such  good work in the name of Biocurious, that is really quite valuable for the programming alone, with participants who have a demonstrated capacity for raising a lot of awareness, with projects that would appear to have raised a lot of money . . .  is having a tough time with cash.    I am worried about other organizations.

Kickstarter. But it wasn't enough to support a space indefinitely.
