[Ailist] RE: Imagine Memphis

[MarySue Foster]

Mary Jo -- if you go to the Imagine Chicago website you can see who some of
their funders are. They also have a 10th anniversary book that you can
download at the site that is pretty amazing and has some acknowledgements in
it for their supporters over the years. Their site is www.imaginechicago.org

I would appreciate your sharing whatever you harvest from this list. Imagine
Dallas is also in the somewhat start up phase (we're about 18 months old
now) and are busy looking for funders. We have several proposals out. They
are all local. Part of our model (the Imagine-Nation Conference) provides a
national platform and we are in the process of developing possible funders
for that.

I am compiling a list of other Imagine programs with active websites around
the world. I will share it with the list soon. I have about 20 programs so
far.

Congrats on getting started with your Design Team. We have the next chapter
looming over the horizon -- the first ever Annual Imagine-Nation Conference
on September 27. Check out our website, too --
