The next 6 month grant cycle is now underway

Last cycle we collectively raised $768 through small monthly donations by 35 Valley Art Share members.  Some incredible proposals were made and I'm looking forward to seeing what ya'll have up your sleeves for this cycle.  

Here's how the deadlines are shaking down this time 'round:

• August 1st: Project proposals are due
• August 15th: Deadline to sign up to participate in the selection process (sign up to contribute to the collective fund here)
• September 15th: Votes are collected (I'll send out an email to all the folks who have signed up)
• September 30th: Grant recipient is announced.

You've got almost the whole summer ahead of you to prepare and recruit your friends.  I'm hoping we can double the number of folks who are currently giving the collective fund over the next 6 months. If we do this it will make more sense to have shorter grant rounds, allowing us to give about $700 to a project every 4 months.

I'll send out reminders when we get closer to the deadlines. In the meantime I hope you're getting a chance to hop off the computer and into a sunny spot by some water.

Til next time,

Julia
