Q: Is this an idea that is going to take administrative ridiculousness?
Probably. I can imagine it's going to involve sending money to a central group that is willing to administer. But here's the truth. Right now, I'm just feeling like we're all losing.

Q: What is the difference between this type of funding and me donating to the MAA or AIM?
I don't know, but it feels different when there is a face and a name that I can see that I am supporting. I just honestly would rather give more support to an immediate need rather than a blanket organization.

Q: What can I imagine funding?
I don't want to see REUs or summer camps go away. These are the ways of our future. I would give to a fund to support projects that have immediate needs. I am thinking of programs that have deans threatening to cancel due to uncertainty

The thing that doesn't work about this: I don't think we can set them up as loans. I think we have to think of it as orchestrating giving to math from those who can.

* If what you want to support doesn't get funded, the funds get repurposed to a similar cause. I think this is key because I can imagine that instead of this bringing us together, it will rip us further apart. The goal is to fund 1 at a time and then turn that support into future funding for others
