<div dir="ltr">What is the deadline for applying for a grant? A possibility would be
to divide it equally among the applicants at that deadline. Another
question, what if a person applies but if they don't get all the funding
they need they will not attend, how are we going track that and
re-disperse funds?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><br>

<div class="">> I wonder if there's a way to structure the application so that it's possible for applicants to be specific in their ask for support. Something like --<br>

If we can find a way to get more details from our folks-in-need, I imagine we'll be able to stretch our grant dollar and be able to assist more folks.<br>

</div>I know we went around this once at the meeting, but I don’t remember all of the details of which options we discussed, but I don’t think we considered the “I would like this much money” option. If people feel we should consider that, then we can re-open the discussion.<br>
<br>
I like the idea of trying to drum up local “sponsor an attendee” funds at something less than the full supporter level.<br>
