Thanks for your new proposal to The Sia Foundation Grants Program.

Your current proposal doesn’t follow our required format for grant submissions. Refer to the Proposal Format for small grants.

Please review the format linked above and update your proposal as appropriate.

Hello @steve , I appreciate your prompt response. We will revise our proposal format ASAP.

I hope you have a wonderful day! :blush:

Hey @steve, we have updated our proposal, according to the grant format, thanks! :pray:

Thanks for the update. The committee typically meets every other week, but due to other obligations their next meeting is scheduled for October 15. This will be on the docket for review then.

no worries, looking forward to hearing back from all of you! :heartpulse:

Thanks for your proposal to the Sia Foundation Grants Program. After review, the committee has decided to reject this request citing the following reasons:

  • You updated your proposal but still left out risk assessment.
  • They typically don’t fund initiatives that market for us, because the oversight we’d need in the process would be substantial to comply with our US non-profit regulations.
  • They have never funded a giveaway, and probably won’t ever.
  • There’s not a lot of substance on how you’d be accomplishing these goals.

This proposal will be moved to the Rejected section of the forum. If you feel you can update this grant to address the committee’s concerns, please feel free to submit a new proposal. Thanks again!
