2027 levers
The north star is the gap we proved in Act 1: 2,150 women asked, 14 funded. Every lever below exists to close it — and to put us credibly on the plan's $330k path (not the $850k fantasy). 2026 is largely locked; 2027 is where the board's leverage is.
1 · LOWA 2027 expansion
$45k → up to $85k. The most bankable single swing; traces to the keynotes and brand embed, conversations already live.
2 · Co-funded scholarships
Partner with aligned orgs (a SheJumps-style model) to fund scholarships together. The most direct way to say yes to more women — turns partner interest straight into seats.
3 · Institutional grants
TEW round two ($30k, landing now) plus new grants through the board's networks. Proven and repeatable, not one-off.
4 · Flagship-campaign factory
3–4 flagships a year at ~$20k (First 50k + Rim-to-Rim proven). Near-linear: more ambassadors, not more effort. A $60–80k engine.
5 · Deepen the sponsor flywheel
Convert proven demand into more gear and cash sponsors — Title Nine + CAMP momentum, 1,485 warm leads, earned-media validation.
6 · AI-scale Grit Lit + the calendar
Staff is the biggest cost; these product lines only scale if production and fulfillment get cheap. The AI-forward payoff, in dollars.
7 · Year-end giving campaign
The unbuilt standard play. With this year's demand story and content engine, a structured December push is overdue.
