Oops, a day late for OpenandChange!
Hello @Streetnurses, welcome to Edgeryders and OpenandChange, we have already submitted the application (unless you joined with a different project and I am not recognising you), but if things go well in this first phase and we get to be semi-finalists we will of course get in touch. In it we are saying that over the next two years 150 projects will be running activities to become more solid, sustainable and even generate some source of income.
“…because of our high costs of wages it is difficult to fund foundations that are willing to support us” What do you mean by that? For example the MacArthur funding would allow personnel costs, and most large grants that I know of.
Oh, I almost forgot. My name is Noemi, community manager, and my own answer to the challenge “How do you give and receive care?” is here, I wrote it a few months ago should you be interested to exchange notes. Let’s stay in touch.
