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 Kickstaner 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
EFTA_R1_00053024
EFTA01753506
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 Gariopy
