by the M/PC:
The Executive Board
endorses the Vision and Program Committee's continued discussion of the
idea of seeking "seed" funding that will allow WayNet to
partner with selected WayNet members and develop content on local Wayne
County artists. A partner institution (presumably a 501(c)3 classified
organization) would serve as lead for a grant from an appropriate source
and the funding would be used to develop the content and create a
website within WayNet on the topic.
The initial project
is intended to demonstrate what can be done and would serve to
"bootstrap" further development of content through other
grants.
The next steps to be taken include:
- Seeking
member/partners.
- Developing a
statement of the subject scope of the project.
- Developing a plan
of action.
- Drafting a grant
proposal.
- Seeking Exec.
Committee approval for a grant proposal.
