One way to show that the Neopagan Community not only exists, but cares about itself and others is to set up institutions. More than just multicultural get-togethers, these need to be Exclusively Pagan, though there is no reason not to allow anybody to donate resources to the cause.
Food Banks, Charities, Seminaries, private schools to raise children in a way that is more in line with Pagan ways, Used clothing and goods distributors (e.g. a pagan "Goodwill"), etcetera.

Well, since I put it up, I'll start.
I'd probably go with a seminary. Sure, anyone can donate their time, money, resources or effort to help, but it definitely has to be focused on Pagan Traditions. Through this, Reconstructionists would have an accessible means to the scholarly articles that are so necessary to building an informed practice. It can also be a visible place for Wiccan traditions to congregate and initiate - you don't have to know the right folks, to find the tradition that moves you.
I would want a piece of paper from this seminary to be a demonstration of deep, broad, and thorough understanding of the Neopagan community.
