Executive Summary
We are calling this the Phoenix Campaign because not only is this a phoenix from the ashes of Out in the Mountains, but it is an enhancement of what services and support Mountain Pride Media can provide to the GLBTQ community. 

Since elections in January, MPM Board members have been meeting with GLBTQ Vermonters.  What you have told us is that you want OITM back and you even want more interactive ways to connect to members of our community.  Our goal is to be a hub through which every member of our community can connect to individuals, resources, events, news, and services.

Our plan has two distinct stages.  We start with an interactive calendar and resource database. This stage will also revive The Source, more comprehensive links to GLBTQ-serving non-profits, and advertising modules to ensure we can sustain operations.  Stage Two will bring an online version of Out in the Mountains back to life, this time with personals, blogs, and more statewide news coverage.  The stages are outlined below and you can clearly see how your donation will help us reconnect the VT GLBTQ community.  We will only embark on each stage if the funding and community support is there.

Mission
