After perusing an email Casey sent us with links to possible grants available, it became a little more clear that general purpose grants rather than project grants might be more feasible to apply for, since project grants involve way more in terms of application process, matching funds, and actually developing and following through on a project such as a lecture or exhibition and the follow-up required afterward. We only have one semester, after all!
Grants available on the azhumanities.org website were more complicated than the corporate giving grants from Wells Fargo, and we might actually be able to produce a grant for them to submit (or not) later on since there are no deadlines with Wells Fargo. What other banks or corporations could we solicit? TFCU had an ad that supported La Pilita in the newsletter I just received and it gave me the idea to seek out other corporations that love to support community development. The possibilities seem endless, but we'd really like to create something concrete that will benefit BICAS and the people they serve.
Here is a link Casey sent us about grants given to Austin artists to make bike racks for the city! They're really cool!
