Here's a one-sentence mission statement: "Sudo Room, a Project of Omni
Commons, is a creative community and hackerspace dedicated to
facilitating digital inclusion and literacy, fostering
creative-technical collaborative projects, and building sustainable
alternatives to the tech industry."
501c3 docs attached - Sudo Room's entity/EIN was cannibalized by Omni in
2016 for myriad reasons - long story short so we could buy the building.
It is now a fiscally-sponsored project of its former self (hence the two
docs).
I can't be a contact rn but happy to supply info!

If I remember correctly, sudo is legally a project of
the Omni, right?
So 501(c)3 documentation should come from Omni.

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 =)

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)

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:
partnership with Oakland-based nonprofit, Tech
Exchange, and
with support
from a StopWaste grant, Corpsmembers have now
branched out
into the
computer industry, refurbishing donated, used
computers for
East Bay
