<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>This sounds like a consortium/membership model. I would probably do this by getting one year of funding for a person to do the fund-raising, someone well known in at least two communities. Then have the person go soft money by year three. Have memberships of organizations and foundations that support the goal at a low level, like $5/yr, and individual memberships. Of course, having someone manage this will mean you are targeted more like 30k (15k for person) than ten. That is about sixty members, which seems feasible if you have someone always pushing and managing. I do not think such a think will emerge spontaneously. </div>
