<br>the awesome foundation model involves 10 people commiting $100 a
month into a single $1000 grant awarded every month. the ten people then
pick the grantee based on criteria they all agree on.<br><br></div>awesome
foundation is accepting new chapters and from my understanding it's not
difficult to get approved. i am wondering if there is enough interest
and disposable $$ in our various communities to create a sudo- or bach-
or other topic-specific awesome foundation chapter.<br>

something like this and what kind of topic they'd like to support,

<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi all,<br><br>I'm attending an info session this Wednesday to learn more about the People's Community Market. Anyone want to come with me? They have them every Wednesday 4-5pm in downtown Oakland; <a href="http://peoplescommunitymarket.com/2012/10/23/weekly-info-session/" target="_blank">peoplescommunitymarket.com/2012/10/23/weekly-info-session/</a> .<br>
<br></div>I was thinking it would be cool to gather funds to have a joint donation. The investment returns ("3% annual compound interest and 1% store credit") could be then used for future Spaghetti costs (noodles, wine, etc) or other further investments (tiny house village, bobby's brewery/skate park, etc). But before I make any formal propositions I thought going to an info session would be useful.<br>
<br></div>If you are interested, they ask that you please RSVP at the link above.<br><br>If you don't know anything about the project yet: <a href="http://peoplescommunitymarket.com/" target="_blank">http://peoplescommunitymarket.com/</a><br>
<br>Also, if you have insider info that I'm blind to right now--please let me know what you know!<br><br>Best,<br>David<br></div>
