Hi Richard,
I'm writing to ask if you have any update concerning Mr. Epstein's donation and if I can provide any more
information.
Thanks,
Jean-Francois Gariepy

Hi Richard,
Unfortunately this is impossible because NEURO.tv is not associated to Duke University. I am simply a
researcher at Duke University and we have no formal agreement with them that would allow me to obtain
the money afterward, although NEURO.tv is planned to become a Duke organization in the next year.
If it is a problem to give to a non-profit that has not yet obtained 501c(3), you can also make the check
payable to myself, Jean-Francois Gariepy, as an individual, and send the money at the same address. We
need to have access to the money very fast to insure the success of the Kickstarter campaign and we hope
that Mr. Epstein will understand the tight time frame that we are working with. In any case I guarantee that
we have applied to obtain the 501c(3) and that I will send you a receipt as soon as the status is obtained.
Please tell me if Mr. Epstein is still willing to contribute to our cause under these conditions. If giving to a
non-501c(3) organization means some costs to you, we are willing to take a reduced amount of money too.

Dear Mr. Epstein,
Your trust in our initiative means a lot to me and Diana. I am attaching a brochure which
describes the different types of partnerships that we offer.
We are looking at funding the initiative using two methods. First, the Kickstarter campaign
at http://kickstarter.neuro.tv seeks to gather funds from scientists and the general public
who support us and our goal of $25,000 needs to be attained before the end of November.
Secondly, as described in the brochure, we are looking for one or two major institution or
foundation to partner with, or many smaller donations from multiple foundations and
institutions. We would prefer partnering with one or two major donors. The total amount of
money needed on the institutional side ranges from $20,000 to $50,000. The exact amount
needed depends on the requirements of the donor. For instance, if a main donor was
willing to share sponsorship of the program with Duke University, who has expressed
interest in sharing sponsorship, then $20,000 would suffice. If you would like to fund the
entire initiative, then we would need something closer to the $50,000 mark.
The Kickstarter campaign can be contributed to directly on the web, while institutional
donations can be made by check to "NEURO.tv Inc.". Please let me know which type of
partnership you would be interested in and I can give you our address.
As you know from our previous email and campaign on the web, NEURO.tv is an
innovative platform that not only seeks to produce an interesting show on the brain but
also regroups some of the brightest minds in neuroscience and philosophy for one hour
while they discuss about what matters to them and determine what should be the future
directions in our investigation of the brain and behaviors. The help of visionary individuals
like you will be essential to realize our dream of an academic show that is both
scientifically accurate and free to view for everyone.
We thank you for your interest in our unique initiative.
Sincerely,
Jean-Francois Gariepy
