Hey y'all
I was just tapped on the shoulder about a nice funding opportunity from
a foundation. The deadline is Feb 16, and I think we could go for it.
Is anyone around to help me get this together? I am in Boston, so can't
come to the meeting this week, but drop me a line if you're available to
help proof writing, plus-one website tweaks, etc.
We can collaborate online. Of course, nothing will be submitted or
edited without group approval :]
Thanks,
April

Pinging again. Anyone else interested in working on
this?
Could you give us more information? Is this the big thing they had last
year where hundredsre of orgs pitch their stuff and then there are rounds
of elimination? or something different?

Hi!
I think it is just a prototype fund. Smaller, 35k fund:
http://www.knightfoundation.org/funding-initiatives/knight-prototype-fund/
You apply, they say yes or no. That is all. They want:
"The Knight Prototype Fund helps media makers, technologists and
tinkerers take ideas from concept to demo. With grants of $35,000,
innovators are given six months to research, test core assumptions and
iterate before building out an entire project.
The program recognizes that with the cost of experimentation dropping,
innovators should have the opportunity to test their greatest ideas and
explore many options before choosing a final path. When successful
projects emerge, Knight Foundation can help them scale."
