more to ignore
Notes to self:

Driving home I thought Jimmy Carter. Looked up the Carter Center (Atlanta, GA). Looking at their mission it seems that a philanthropic matchmaking center may not be their schtick. Even so, I'll be in Atlanta for Thanksgiving and will try to set up an appointment with somebody there in an effort to get a clue.

Still, the Carter Center has subject matter experts and is run by a Board of Trustees, Jimmy Carter being the head. It is affiliated with Emory University.

What is the possibility that such an endeavor would be embraced by folks at RIT? There are definitely individuals, faculty and students alike who would be interested in such an undertaking, but I can't imagine our administration being that altruistic. (Time for more hallway discussions).

Similarly, I am reticent to seek US governmental subsidy. It strikes me that this entity would need to be extremely neutral, so there may need to be filters in terms of what grants and subsidies we may seek.

If I am truly committed to this, how can I spin it so it relates to my job? This can be attacked in many ways. If I place it in my Plan of Work, then I may be able to feed resources and time into it.

Entity. Need to define the entity and create it, even if it is only conceptually in document form. See Deb as a start.
