The Bank of America grant I wrote for SCAPE, or Students Creating Art for Public Enjoyment was submitted yesterday (6/15/10)! Feels good. Got notified that they received it and we will know within 90 days whether we receive a grant or not.
Also, we are starting to get more responses from the Annual Appeal. We've recouped all of our money (postage) and our total as of today is $1,255. They were sent only a week and a half ago and we are doing well so far reaching our projected total of $4,000. It's been worrisome and frustrating because the post office insists on sitting on them for a few days before delivering and initially we had several returns because of bad addresses, etc.
I am getting started on several other projects this week including:
-Dancing in the Street. I have been going through dancer applications and entering them in a database, so that they will be ready for panel next week.
-Prospecting potential grantmakers through a program called Foundation Center online for a new project in the section of Grand Center called GrandPA (Grand Public Art) between the Powell and Third Baptist Church. We are hoping to deconstruct GrandPA and replace it with a garden space (To be named) that will involve District youth and educate them about the environment, gardening, and community building.
Thus far, I've found a few potential grantmakers, but I still have quite of bit of research on Foundation Center to do.
Oh! I almost forgot....Today I am heading to the airport with Jay to pick up William Roberti, the managing director of Alvarez and Marsal, former CEO of Brooks Brothers. I know several of my close family friends that will love that tidbit. (Cough...Roxanne). How much do we want bet what he's wearing?
Anyway, Heading to Lambert now!
