Reach (ACR) Fundraising and Marketing Strategy\r\n\r\n## Purpose of assignment\r\n\r\nACR needs startup funding so that the organization can develop documentation, provide the technical support to implementation partners, and enable UN member states to begin rolling out sustainable community scale drinking water treatment infrastructure.\r\n\r\n## AguaClara Network Background\r\n\r\nThe AguaClara Cornell program was founded in 2005 by Dr. Weber-Shirk. Dr. Weber-Shirk was motivated to create an answer to the question posed by Jacobo Nuñez, \"How can we provide safe water for Honduran communities.\" Jacobo Nuñez is the director of [Agua Para el Pueblo](https://www.apphonduras.org/) and recognized the need for improved water treatment technologies. That need became the mission of the AguaClara Cornell program that has grown to an 80-member student team (with approximately 1000 alumni from dozens of countries) that researches, invents, and designs sustainable water treatment technologies. \r\n\r\nThe AguaClara Cornell program is only one member of the AguaClara network. AguaClara Reach is the network hub that trains in-country partner organizations to design and deploy AguaClara water treatment plants. The in-country partner organizations implement AguaClara plants and train community water boards to operate and maintain the facilities. The Honduran NGO, Agua Para el Pueblo (APP), under the leadership of Jacobo Nuñez has distinguished itself as the first implementation partner and an AguaClara innovation partner. APP has led the way in taking the hydraulic designs created by AguaClara Cornell, adding the structural and architectural design, supervising the construction of the facilities, and training community partners to sustainable operate and maintain the plants.\r\n\r\nThe first AguaClara plant was inaugurated in 2007 in Ojojona. Since then APP has built a new water treatment plant every year and in recent years that pace has accelerated. The first 10 years saw rapid innovation with a rich collaboration between AguaClara Cornell and APP. Together they invented a series of technological breakthroughs include gravity powered chemical dosing, high-rate flocculators, self-cleaning sedimentation tanks, sedimentation filters that significantly improve water quality with no added cost, and the first self-backwashing filter that doesn't require any pumps.\r\n\r\nThe AguaClara technologies fill a technology gap that was previously unmet; namely resilient, high-performing, low-cost, ultra-low energy drinking water treatment technologies. With 14 years of experience and with proven technologies providing safe water on tap in Honduras, Nicaragua, and India, it is now time to spread these technologies globally. The need is great and the time is now. [\"The world is not on track to reach the SDG 6 on Water and Sanitation by the deadline set for 2030.\"](http://www.unwater.org/publication_categories/sdg-6-synthesis-report-2018-on-water-and-sanitation/) ACR provides key innovations to enable UN member states to get back on track toward SDG 6 and do [more with less](http://www.iwa-network.org/doing-more-with-less-the-new-paradigm-for-achieving-sdg6/?utm_source=IWA-NETWORK&utm_campaign=8b903f48ed-Newsletter_August+2018_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c457ab9803-8b903f48ed-158873149).\r\n\r\nThese enabling innovations include:\r\n\r\n - The AguaClara network is open source and thus can invent, publish rapidly, and share new insights\r\nfreely without any need to patent.\r\n - AguaClara Cornell is developing their 2nd generation AguaClara infrastructure design engine to\r\nfacilitate designing water treatment plants for communities over a wide range of\r\nsizes.\r\n - AguaClara Cornell is integrated into the Cornell university curriculum so that students can continue to create new and improved technologies in support of SDG 6.\r\n - AguaClara Reach maintains continuous feedback between UN member state implementation partners and the Cornell team to support rapid innovation in technology design and fabrication.\r\n - The AguaClara network invented zero-electricity plants that are able to operate at full capacity and produce high quality drinking water off-grid.\r\n\r\n## Background on [AguaClara Reach](https://www.aguaclarareach.org/)\r\n\r\nACR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation with the mission of universal access to safe water on tap. AguaClara Reach is currently a volunteer driven organization that has an immediate goal of bring on key full time personnel to more rapidly build organizational capacity. The ACR needs personnel to train organizations to design and deploy gravity-powered water treatment plants for under-served communities around the world. \r\n\r\n## Project description (including goals and objectives).\r\n\r\nOur goal is to provide startup funding for ACR so that it can fulfill its mission of enabling UN member states to achieve SDG 6. \r\n \r\nObjectives: (how is this different from desired outputs\r\n - Research potential funding options\r\n - Assess the fit between funding options and the ACR mission\r\n - Recommend strategy for funding\r\n\r\n## Inputs required (who and when). \r\n\r\nOne or two ACR persons should be director interface (board/advisory group), while another 1 or 2 could be the weekly point of contact (AguaClara Reach Advisory Council and Cornell-AguaClara alumni).\r\n\r\n## Desired outputs (deliverables).\r\n\r\n - Ranking of startup and sustained funding options for ACR\r\n - Boiler plate text to be used in proposal and grant applications\r\n - Graphics that capture the ACR role in helping UN member states reach SDG 6\r\n - Assist in crafting letter to Tinker Foundation (this might be too soon)\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/AguaClara-Reach/Managing-Organization/issues/comments/413893952","html_url":"https://github.com/AguaClara-Reach/Managing-Organization/issues/11#issuecomment-413893952","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/AguaClara-Reach/Managing-Organization/issues/11","id":413893952,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQxMzg5Mzk1Mg==","user":{"login":"monroews","id":28540907,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjI4NTQwOTA3","avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/28540907?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/monroews","html_url":"https://github.com/monroews","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/monroews/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/monroews/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/monroews/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/monroews/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/monroews/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/monroews/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/monroews/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/monroews/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/monroews/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-08-17T15:01:41Z","updated_at":"2018-08-17T15:01:41Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"How might implementation partner be interpreted in our context?\r\n - Government water ministry\r\n - national government\r\n - Construction firm that builds the plants (implementation partner)\r\n - NGO that builds the plants (implementation partner)\r\n - local water board\r\n\r\nDoes  \"technology\" clarify or does it miss roles of implementation partners?\r\n\r\nI'd suggest sticking with Implementation Partner UNLESS the acronym, IP, is confusing and would be better replaced with TIP."}}
