Co funding application

DU Deleted account Public Seen by 427

Hello colleagues

I'm at a conference today discussing rural coops addressing well being issues.

We are hosting the project site but there's a chance here to raise coop tech profile by funding core hosting cost for a few years ahead. The project is creating an important archive and it would give assurance to this community of national rural organisations attending today to engage more fully.

Wave is hosting and cost to us might be approx £500 for five years.

Can we cover this and announce it.

Cheers

CLF

@felixwave - could you give a bit more detail about this proposal? What/where is the project site? What are the hosting costs exactly? Could you give a bit more detail about the benefits to both sides?

CoTech doesn't have a fund that it can allocate directly at the moment, so to cover these costs individual coops would have to chip in to a CoBudget. Let me know if you need some more information about that.

You may also consider talking to SolidFund (http://solidfund.coop/) - based on the information you gave it sounds like the kind of project they might fund.

We'd happily chip in.
