Big Ideas, Small Budget: Biggest challenges faced
* finding talented yet inexpensive voice talent
* reluctance of some colleagues to adopt new technology
* finding time to learn new tools; finding time at al!
* recruiting volunteers
* communicating with donors and the public (potential donors)
* finding your audience
Ideas
For audio, purchasing inexpensive equipment such as the Samsung Zoom H2 or H4; you can record in an quiet space, even inside a parked car
Don't be afraid to ask people to volunteer.
Overabundance of options? Go where the audience is.
Outsource when you can; ask your volunteer base.
