Feb 17th 2005 The money we had has been given to another charity that offered to take over, here. Thank you for all your help!
Nov. 21st We're closed right now. sad We need a savior.
We're reopening at 10K. Please donate!
October 16-- The winner of
our contest was announced the 14th. Yes, we are still alive!
September 5th, 2004 Okay, we have a LOT of gold. All thanks to that kooky crazy Kokuyo fellow. We'll be holding a contest, and I'd like to talk with some people about planning this. biggrin
September 4th, 2004 Well, it turns out that Bane has come back; once again, Gaia has proved itself to be highly addictive whee
September 2nd, 2004 I regret to announce that Bane has decided to leave Gaia. Leaving the managing of GrantOrg up to Jaimai40 and me (BTC/Nyx). This will almost guarantee us being a lot slower with stuff. So be patient about your requests and everything. It will be sorted out in due time.
August 19th, 2004 Hoo-boy. I've been on vacation for a while, and this place has obviously gone to hell. Well, we're back with two now (hopefully non-forgetful) staff members: nyx-thanato and Jaimai40. Big thanks to those two.
July 10th, 2004 We're back in business! If we dip below 3000, though, we're closing back up again, so PLEASE DONATE! crying <--- See? He's crying because not enough people are donating. We've got a new staff member to help us out, so I'm not running this show alone. If you want to help out with GrantOrg, please PM Bane is on Fire!
Nyx is running a fundraiser for us, and I applaud her for doing it. I (Bane), am also considering running a fundraiser for this fund as I am unsure that it will suceed.
Staff Members:
Bane is on Fire!
nyx-thanato (and .clothos and burnt toast crumbs)
Jaimai40
If you have any questions or comments, please PM Bane is on Fire!. This account is a mule only and should not be used for anything other than collecting the gold. If you want to volunteer to work with GrantOrg, please send a PM to Bane is on Fire!
Rules (Read 'em or die):
#1 Do not "bump" this page. It's a sticky, people. If you "bump" or spam this page, you will be <gaspshock> blacklisted. No one on the <gaspshock> blacklist can receive grants.
#2 Do not post your poetry or your stories on this thread. They will be considered spam, and you will be <gaspshock> blacklisted.
#3 If we turn you down for a grant, do not pester us about it.
#4 Be realistic when you apply. If you pad your request and you are turned down you will not be allowed to reapply.
#5 Be patient if you take some time to process your request.
#6 If, while the Grant was closed, you applied for a grant and were told that the grant was closed: please re-apply. I don't have the PMs anymore.
#7 If you want to donate, be sure to send it to GrantOrg, the mule.
#8 If you harras/insult us in any way, you get <gaspshock> blacklisted.
#9 If you have a large reserve of cash and you apply for a loan, expect to be turned down.
#10 If you don't fill out the form below properly, you will be denied a loan.
Donating: To send donations, start a trade with: GrantOrg
DONATORS LIST = OFFLINE. The new and improved GrantOrg (Let's hope) will feature a donators list. I'm looking for someone to run this.
Applying for a Grant: To receive donations, start a contest and fill out this application, then send it to: GrantOrg The information sent to us will not be displayed or leaked in any form. The person who starts the contest thread must be the one to send the application.
1. Name of Contest: This is so that we can visit your contest and review it for content (such as theme) and planning.
2. Judges: This helps us know that you have put enough effort in the contest, whether you are judging it by yourself or with others.
3. Money already put aside for the contest: xxxg Hopefully you didn't start a contest with no money to give out. We're more inclined to give a leg up than to fund an entire contest, although we will do both.
4. Amount requested: xxxg Well, we need to know this in case you get accepted. wink
5. Prizes that would be offered if grant is given: This should equal the money you have set aside plus what you are asking for. Please specify 1rst, 2nd, and 3rd place (if there are that many prizes) instead of simply giving the total. Prizes should be well balanced, not 1k for first place and 1g for second.
6. Persons or Organizations running the contest: If an organization is running the contest, we might like to see how else we can affiliate with them. If the organization has been around a while, that lets us know that the contest is for real.
7. Total amount in personal or organizational treasury: This information will not be given out and will only affect the application if #8 is filled out unsatisfactorily. For instance, if you have 100k and want 1k for the entire contest, you're a greedy b*****d unless, possibly, you're saving up for something.
8. Further Comments: This is your chance to explain why you want a grant instead of raising the money yourself. How well the contest is planned out will be the #1 deciding factor, but if our funds are low we may have to consider this section of the application as well.
