Thank you! It's due on Fri so I'm at sudo room working on it now.
We also need insurance proof, can anyone help?

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 =)

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)

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? They should be a
shoe-in
as well.
The page lists some existing grantees, including Civicorps: "Through a
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
families."
Next Steps:
1. Visit the Grant Application Support page

get help with your application
2. Schedule an appointment
