Dr. Bob,
Do you have a development office in your area? No doubt they already have their fundraising priorities set from above. But I'm wondering whether a corporate and foundation-type development person might have some suggestions on where one could go on their own... I know most of the time they have lists of whom to ask for what and when and often projects have to wait in line in order to even have their chance as asking for money. At least that's the way it is at the university I work for. But I wonder whether maybe there are some smaller fish that might not be big enough for a corporate/foundation development person to bother with ... that they might not care if you approached. Or maybe I'm being waaaaay too naive.I share an office with 6 development people.
I keep my nose out of their stuff most of the time and as much as possible. Icky work, asking people for money...This really has nothing to do with anything, but there's a barber shop a couple of blocks from where I work downtown. It's called C.R.E.A.M., which stands for Cash Rules Everything Around Me. A grim reminder as I go into work in the morning.
