Now that Wildflower has footprint as public, private and leads Black-centered work alogn with MSJ close as well - there are ways to really lean into that and somehow. Ways we could support structured workshops, healing spaces. Could we fund/support that through donors that are aligned?

If there are dues for this… I would wonder what are the terms of Wildflower dues that extend outside of this fund and ensure they speak to each other in our budgets. Is there a way that a portion of our Wildflower dues if we have any go to this fund/ solely go to this fund?

Visibility - seeing Montessorians - maybe you get funds and host a local gathering of Black Montessori leaders in your region - not necessarily monetarily but still giving back

Something to be said for contributing back in some way - not having a loan sounds great but to some extent we should think about giving back to the fund that gave to us. In the form of couple thousand donation or something like that. How may we give back to the fund that gave to us.

Think about what black ppl generally need w/r/t accessing money - review studies, typical hurdles - and apply that to the fund (interest, fine print catches, etc) to make sure the money is not feeling restrictive to those accessing it

Response: Biggest piece is that this is all grants, no loans...but would we be open to other formats if a funder was interested in building, renovation, etc so could be a restricted grant, but not loans

- Renovations
- Construction of a new space from ground up
- Buying land/ property
- Sustainable salaries (more abundant than currently across the board)
- Cultivation of partnerships that can be leveraged for other entrepreneurial and professional needs
- Coaching and support for areas Teacher Leaders *choose/may need* to grow in that align with their goals        - In our community, we get folx with a breathe of experience working with children but may need support gaining technical skills (that may sit outside of children and family aspect) that could  be gained in the SSJ process
- Support Montessori Training
- Partnerships with Black banks and other Black institutions that are aligned with our liberation

Through the funding, I believe that TLs should get access to Professional Developments/Financial Literacy (longevity)/ Legal representation/ Ops Guidance, etc. This will ensure that Black TLs are well equipped for their start-up journey.

There needs to be some type of curriculum for starting a Wildflower school. I feel like I am walking down a path that is supposed to be paved but maybe I am just walking with a blindfold on.

I think as I've seen the start up journey via others, I'd say also funding for 1-2 years of start up journey ( living expense) for the teacher-leader-expedition in addition to coaching ( business)/communication as well ---so important to have these things be clear

In the overview there was mention of groupings/cohorts... I think this needs to be done... perhaps considering setting times that people can begin each part of the journey. This way people are moving together to some extent.

Getting the support via start up and the Montessori training is helpful, but more training opportunities around entrepreneurship (setting up payroll, managing budget, nonprofit status, etc.) would be really helpful.

Tuition assistance

Wondering? how do we prioritize

Much needed for Black teachers. Montessori is difficult to access on many different levels. How would spending/disbursement be prioritized?
