Q10: How much money have you fundraised to date? Who is your largest funder and what is the size of their grant?

As of December of 2007 PWGD has raised over $100,000 internally and from friends, family, and supporters of our idea. Of that $100,000, eighty percent has come directly from the two of us.
Our development will be in two phases. The first phase will develop democratic communication. This will entail an open source project to create a modular email program and democratic filtering software. We estimate that this process will cost $150,000 in our first year. The second phase in our development is collective decision-making. This phase will necessitate scaling the software to meet our networks’ needs as well as travel expenses as we reach out to partners around the world. We estimate the cost of this phase to be in the $50,000 range. So in total we expect to spend $200,000 per year on development and upkeep over the next 2 years totaling $400,000.
