[sudo-discuss] Re: Let's apply for $1.1 Million in Grants for Waste Prevention

I will try. I registered and began the application process. What I've learned so far: - The maximum amount one organization can get from a Reuse and Repair grant is $20,000. (The 1.1M is total grant money.) - We can only apply for one category per grant cycle. Fields filled: - Grant Category (dropdown): Reuse & Repair Grants - Application proposal name: Sudoroom - Eligibility section: done - Applicant Information section: i need a lot of help with this, starting with a 50 word max "Organization or Business Mission" -- is this on the wiki somewhere? - also need to upload a copy of 401c3 documentation I also need primary and secondary contacts. If truly no one else volunteers, then I'll put myself as primary and Patrik as secondary, if that's ok with you. I feel like I'm not involved enough to be primary contact but will do it if everyone else can't right now. Patrik I'll probably send you some emails asking for help =) ~judy On Fri, Feb 3, 2023 at 4:09 PM Jake via sudo-discuss < sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org&gt; wrote: > The Fixit clinic has won that grant so many times they're > shadowbanned, so now > it's Sudoroom's turn to take the easy money. > > If you don't have time to lead it, you can get out of that by picking > someone > else to "volunteer" to lead it (not it) > > -jake > > On Fri, 3 Feb 2023, Patrik D'haeseleer wrote: > > > I am willing to help out, but not to lead it - too many other issues > vying > > for my attention right now. > > > > The Reuse and Repair grants would be the obvious opportunity for > Sudo: > > > https://www.stopwaste.org/at-work/stopwaste-grants/reuse-and-repair-grants > > > > Has Fixit Clinic ever gotten one of these grants?
