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
