Hey Mark, thanks for directing me over to this post. This a wonderful and ambitious project. I wish you and everyone involved much success. As I grow within the community myself, I will try to help when I can.

Yesterday I came across a post on ways to support Steemit members, Minnow Support Project, etc. You may or may not know about some of these, but I figure I would share them with you just in case.

The one that may lead you down a path for support is @minnowbooster, They have a Steem Power delegation program, but maybe they would be willing to participate more than what is publicly offered for your cause. https://steemit.com/minnowbooster/@minnowbooster/introducing-minnowbooster-beta
