Execution of the fundraising method that raises $3,000 net, completed before September 30th. Increased potential for successful future fundraisers. A post-analysis of the fundraising method will include a package of documents with clear information about who filled each role and the job description. It will also include the documentation of the successes and failures of the project fundraising method that can be used by new stakeholders joining the P-Patch project at a later date. It will be possible for the information to be understood by a new person unfamiliar with the project. 4. Constraints. Budget The budget is a major constraint and the least flexible. There are no additional funds available outside of five hours of weekly work study to pay for additional staff on this project. Additionally, funds available to cover the upfront costs of executing a fundraiser are limited. (The first $500 can be proposed through Sustainability and will likely be granted. $500 1,000 must go to the Students For Sustainability subcommittee. – Anything above $1000 must be a formal proposal to the Sustainability Committee for approval.) Resources, Skills and Training Another major constraint is resource availability. This project is an all-volunteer effort; there are no paid positions except for five hours of weekly work study. The steering committee staff members are all volunteers. Additionally, no one from NSCC is working full time on the project; the P-Patch Trust program person is full time, but only has a portion of time to devote to NSCC. Therefore time availability is a major constraint that must be taken into consideration. Deadline The project deadline constraint could have some flexibility, if deemed necessary due to a lack of funding sources. Since the land has already been set aside, the dates for construction & breaking ground could be pushed back. (Pushing the deadline back is an undesirable outcome because the stakeholders don’t want lose momentum on the project, but it could be an option if necessary.) 5. Stakeholders (Environment). Project manager: Group 3 Fred Ward, Jenny Schmidt, Cris Pinzon, Sean McDonald. – Goal: To provide project management support to aid in the successful completion of the project and deliver it on-time, to specifications.
