potential projects list
Attached EXCEL file shows the kinds of projects we have identified. It was prepared as a way to estimate the range of donations dollars that might be expected to flow through EWB during period they acted as fiscal agent. The estimate is based on the list of identified potential projects or programs, the preliminary estimated cost (or income), and assumptions about their timing and fund raising, volunteer outreach, and engagement approaches. The estimates are preliminary and conceptual in most cases, in some cases only a "WAG" placeholder. They need to be updated as the detailed scope is defined. More importantly, the ideas need to be validated against real community needs.
