Besides corporate funding, I would recommend reaching out to those that have the resources. In example, football legend Jerry Rice has helped to raise money for The City of Oakland. Maybe more people can help. Has anyone ever thought of asking the wealthy Hip-Hop/Business man Jay-Z for assistance? How would that look to the Hip-Hop community if he were to turn down such an inquiry? Maybe someone with resources who has some recent bad media, like Gov. Schwarzenegger would be willing to better his public image (afterall, he did work for free as the Governor of CA).
With an area so diverse, maybe working with international company(ies) to bring their services here could be a good idea. Just some more thoughts that I hope could prove to be helpful.
