Once we have 501(c)3 status, and perhaps before, we'll want to start applying for grants. Grant writing is an art.
Potentially interesting places to apply
-
Knight Foundation gives out grants to organizations that use technology to enhance communities and promote journalism. Pretty much a perfect fit.
-
Knight Community Information Challenge - this is a matching grant and thus we can't really afford it :(
