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?

I think we should take the registration waiver as a given.

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.


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.

I like the idea of trying to drum up local “sponsor an attendee” funds at something less than the full supporter level.
