Might be a good idea to validate each idea by “effort” and “impact” and sort them in that way!

Some other thoughts:

  1. 12A (Tax exemption) - checklist
  2. IndiaOS 2.0
  3. Update the website, home page.

Here is my priority (effort (1-10), impact (1-10))

  1. FU Grant (2,9)
    We only need to add guidelines for the grant application on our website.

  2. FU members (3,6)
    As @rushabh mentioned @shivam has already built a nice system for IFF to collect recurring donations, we can smoothly implement for ourselves as well.

  3. FU Project (7,7)
    We are working on to apply for 12A Certificate, further we need to build a platform for managing events and funds for the projects.

  4. IndiaOS 2.0 (8,7)
    COVID-19 is the only barrier right now, further we need to finalize the date and venue to start working on this.

  5. FU Fellowship (7,6)
    We need to start creating a FU Pool for the monthly stipend for the fellows.
