As of Friday night at around 6 PM PST, our very first grant application has been submitted. ”An Open Source of Water for Peru” was the title Isaac at Squarepeg helped propose. Many thanks to him, Jason at Green Empowerment, and the rest of the ODA team for helping to pull this together so quickly. Without everyone’s creativity, critical thinking, and wiliness to GTD, the application wouldn’t have been written on such short notice. Here’s to the possibility of $10,000 coming our way!
Even if we don’t win the money, though, taking the time to answer the questions for both components of the Clinton Global Initiative commitment and grant process proved to be a valuable experience. The prompts forced us to think deeply about who we are and what we’re trying to do, as well as provide specifics on how we hope to accomplish it. The format in which we synthesized this, too, makes the grant application a valuable read for anyone that wants to come on board with the team and our projects.
If you’re a member of the Clinton Foundation’s MyCommitments website, please do vote our project up. I would imagine the voting system does indeed count for something.
