1 - OUR ISLAND - The good news is there is a 50% discount for non-profit organizations!! So, we could get a 16 acre island for $800 plus a monthly fee of $150. Here is a screen grab from second life pricing on that information.
__________________________________
Pricing
Islands are priced at US$1,675 for 65,536 square meters (about 16 acres). Monthly land fees for maintenance are US$295.
We offer a 50% discount to verified real world educators and academic institutions (e.g., universities/schools) or 501(c)3 non-profit organizations that will be using the regions to support their organization's official work. (See note below)
Standard Island Orders
Visit the Land Store to buy or reserve regular islands:

2 - OUR MEMBERS - Listed below is a chart that outlines the rights of the various membership levels. I believe employees would be fine with the free membership. I think we should get at least four premium memberships at $72.00 each. We need at least one to own the land but I'm thinking the other three will be useful to have for development, facilitation,etc.

3 - TERRAFORMING and DEVELOPMENT - The final thing we need is money for development of the model. That I can't hazard a good WAG at yet but this information can be obtained as we firm up a project plan about where and how we want to start.
