Fundraising Tips?

[Coalbird]

I just finished reading "Chase Darkness with Me" by Bill Jensen, and I'm excited about the techniques he uses in his cases. DNA Databases and geo-targeted missing persons posts could resolve so many open cases where the leads have just dried up. I'm currently working with a family on a geo-targeted ad campaign, and I'm excited to learn how to leverage these new technologies.

We're covered for our current workload, but looking forward - does anyone have experience fundraising for missing and unidentified persons advocacy? Covering the costs to submit DNA profiles to national databases and to boost social media posts is far more resource intensive than web sleuthing, but I would love to make this available to more families if it works out on this case.

I got an email from Parabon and it was about fund raising for cases, if I can find it I will send it to you. Or you can go to their web page and it may be on it.

Thank you! I would love to read it. I'll head over to their page in the meantime.

Woah, that lead panned out! Their crowdsourcing initiative, Justice Drive, looks like a great resource for DNA profile funding. All of their listed cases are either solved or fully funded.
