I do know some individual philanthropists, but I don't think it's appropriate for me to make the approach individually. How would you suggest proceeding? I hope we can agree, beyond CZ politics, on a "why Citizendium is worth supporting" set of talking points.

What is the feeling of the MC about corporate contributions? Personally, I can see them as appropriate, even from potentially controversial companies -- including some that have provided significant sums to WP, and where some may have contacts.

I also have some thoughts about hosting companies. In particular, I can see an argument to be made about a feasibility demonstration of a cloud-hosted Wikimedia system. Discussion welcome. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:57, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
