Ideas

Grants for cultural events put on for free for the neighborhood
Lots of small nonprofits and artist spaces are being driven out – concern about these spaces. We could easily absorb some of that, we're an antidote to this gentrification
$25K+ is a large grant, takes more time
Grants for accessibility – several grants available for disability funding
"Salvation Quintuplet" - 5 people to lend $10K to get us through the next 3-6 months while waiting on response to loan apps
We have space available for small nonprofits and art spaces being priced out of the market
- Funding to rehab a space
