Investment in projects in this fund is risky, but promises
extremely high dividends. Assurances of adequate funding for any project
accomplished in this fund maximizes turnover and adds incentive to project
participants to act quickly. This fund is managed by Heath Bunting, who has
shown great staying power as a producer of high-impact cultural dividends
with a sizeable oppositional punch. See also the Cultural Terrorism Agency for additional
HR/HY fundraising strategies.
