  2. I wrote a grant to help community members publish their own books. Did a similar project a few years ago and we had 3 books plus an anthology of shorter prices. This time, we had MORE THAN 30 BOOKS turned in!! This has meant a lot more work for me than anticipated, but I'm over the moon to see so many! Very excited to actually see the books and celebrate with the newly minted authors this summer.

  3. #Scientists Press #Congress on Trump’s Dismissal of Funding Agency Board
    The slowed pace of #grants by the #NationalScienceFoundation (#NSF), under attack from #WhiteHouse, could put #US at disadvantage with China, scientists warned.
    “We stand with the #NationalScienceBoard, and call on Congress, as an equal branch of government, to rapidly and firmly support science by calling for the reinstatement of terminated #NSB members,” signatories wrote.

  4. "The Department of Government Efficiency’s cancellation last year of the majority of ffederal #humanities #grants, including to several #Jewish projects, was #unlawful and #unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

    In her 143-page ruling, U.S. District #Judge #ColleenMcMahon called out the agency created by #President #DonaldTrump specifically for its targeting of Jewish projects, including #Holocaust #research.

    “At a time when the specter of #antisemitism has reemerged from the shadows, for our Government to deem a project about #Jewishwomen disfavored because it centered on ‘Jewish cultures’ and ‘female’ voices is deeply troubling,” wrote #McMahon, who was appointed by President #BillClinton in 1998. She was referring specifically to a canceled “project on Jewish #women subjected to slave labor during the Holocaust.”

  9. Apply for NLnet Open Social Fund Before June 1

    A quick reminder that NLnet has an Open Social Fund specifically for projects that implement ActivityPub. They make grants of 5000 to 50000 euros. Their next proposal deadline is June 1, 2026. The proposal process requires just a few hours of work. It's definitely worth the time to get into this important program!

  12. @khinsen @johannab

    Indeed. And we see what the result is. After various supply chain attacks and whole range of other software supply line related issues that typically are not well handled in most #FOSS projects, the 'market' (need not be commercial clients per se) start demanding all kinds of quality compliance guarantees.

    In the new and upcoming #HorizonEurope grant programs by @EUCommission I heard - there was much discussion about this - on changing nature of #NGI0 #grants as provided by @nlnet whereby the #EU mandate shifts towards placing bigger focus on these concerns.

    Though I admit that I'm not fully in the loop, and neither do I know if things were already all clearly communicated to the public. Perhaps @michiel or someone else at #NLnet might point to the most relevant info resource atm.

    Other than that, the misunderstandings which lead to perceived #entitlement (client/customer) or #privilege (creator/devs) are expectation mismatch, solvable by better comms practices.

  17. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/mag. "The #Trump administration’s latest #budget proposal calls for a gigantic increase in #military #spending combined with severe #cuts to #social programs. But... it also calls for debilitating reductions in #research #funding. Furthermore, Trump appointees have already been strangling #science by sharply reducing the rate at which research #grants are approved." Very bad news, @MichaelEMann.

  18. "Why don't you just apply for a grant?"

    IMLS Inspire! Grants for Small Museums. $5K-$50K. For museums with budgets under $250K. My operation is definitely under $250K. But "individual" isn't a museum, regardless of how many filmstrips have come through. Federal tax dollars. #preservation #IMLS #grants #museums #archives #digipres

  19. Screen Daily: British Screen Forum awarded £200,000 to address data gaps in UK film industry . “The second pilot will develop a new database which captures the commercial performance of films.

  20. "In the midst of a snowstorm in Washington, D.C., shortly after federal layoffs rocked the city, a group of #Jewish families teamed up to dig their neighbors out of the snow. When the job was done, they gathered for a hot chocolate party — funded by the #HaroldGrinspoonFoundation.

    The costs of the “it takes a village” snow-shoveling and the hot chocolate party, and thousands of other small Jewish gatherings, were covered by a #PJLibrary program providing subscriber families with $100 #microgrants to cover hosting expenses for small Jewish-themed gatherings. #TheGetTogether microgrant program has seen a steep spike in interest this year, particularly in smaller cities and rural areas, #JessicaMcCormick, PJ Library’s director of family experience, told eJewishPhilanthropy.

    Over six months, the Get Together microgrant program has distributed over $1 million in #grants."

  21. "Why don't you just apply for a grant?"

    IMLS Museums for America. $5K-$250K. I've cataloged 4,000+ filmstrips and digitized 1,300+, freely available on Internet Archive. But you have to BE a museum: public hours, exhibits, the works. Preservation work without a building doesn't qualify. #preservation #IMLS #grants #archives #museums #digipres

  26. In June, two suits filed against the Trump administration in federal court in Boston led to more than 2,000 #terminated #NIH #grants having their funding restored.

    And just this week, an agreement with the plaintiffs to reconsider #DEI-related research applications led to the funding of more than a hundred grants whose reviews had been paused.

    But in comments made on a podcast posted Wednesday, NIH Director #Jay #Bhattacharya indicated the reprieve will be short-lived for the grants restored in June

    They could be terminated over the next year.

  27. The #Trump admin had cut off $790M in #grants in a standoff that contributed to #university #layoffs & the resignation in Sept of #Northwestern president Michael Schill. The admin claimed the school had not done enough to fight Trump’s definition of #antisemitism [aka #FreeSpeech #Palestinian #HumanRights #protests].

    Under the agreement announced Friday night, Northwestern will make the payment to the #US #Treasury over the next 3 years [notably not exceeding Trump’s term].
