[wplug-board] Grant Money

[JUDI GALARDI]

I read what they want.  That's why we should decide if we want to add a series of classes.  If the WSCC is not in Pgh., I don't think that would be funded.  I could go to the meeting...do you know when and where?

    support" (in other words, they won't give us a grant just because
    we're cool and do good things for the community...) - we'd need to
    propose a specific project of some sort, make a case for why they
    should fund it, and create a budget that demonstrates how the grant
    would be used in support of that project.  This is from their web
    site:

>Sprout Fund is having a Funding Programs Workshop next Thursday at noon.  It kind of explains who they are, what they do, and how to work with them.  Does anyone want to go, take notes, and report back to the board?  I can't do it myself, I need to be at work.
