thanks a lot for this proposal, this indeed sounds like it could be 
working very well!

What is on our agenda is to improve the donation page. We removed the 
challenge page which read like "We don't need any more money", but we 
still need to implement some improvements.

Having a dedicated timeframe and reason for donating is something that I 
think can be communicated very well to the public. What we should add 
also is what we did with the money we received so far, and what concrete 
goals we want to achieve, because then I think people will donate even 
more if they know exactly what their money is used for. Examples are: 
Buying infrastructure, printing brochures, funding travels to events etc.

I support Italos idea of having a marketing call in January, and we 
definitely should add that to the agenda then!

Thanks for the good idea!

Florian
