Great question! Based on our class readings, and especially Peter Dobrin's work on organizational capacity, I wanted to find groups that:

1. had a stable financial history with a consistently well-managed, mid-size budget
2. were not overly extended due to building or other capital commitments
3. had at full-time, paid staff members
4. had prior experience creating/running constituent-based projects within the communities they serve.

I used GuideStar for the financial research and the organizational websites for the programmatic portion. What do you think?

(Also, AAU is already interested in collecting community histories. I'm sure funding and collaboration could help them grow the project.)
