Awesome Foundation Awards First Grant: Stories of Seattle

[Nathaniel James]

In case you missed it Awesome Foundation Seattle announced our first
grant to Kay Dudley for her Stories of Seattle project.

Kay will use her Awesome grant to “revive the oral story tradition and
at the same time feed the homeless and hungry in Seattle.” She has
already started roaming the streets of Seattle, trading homemade
sandwiches for stories from people whose experiences are often ignored
and silenced. She will use her grant to expand the operation by
purchasing good recording equipment, a new web domain and storage
space online to share the stories with the world, and lots and lots of
high quality sandwich ingredients.

Don't forget, we're giving out $1000 every month. The next deadline
is October 31 (boo), and we want you to apply or help us find good
applicants: http://awesomeseattle.org/apply-now/

Cheers,

Nathaniel James
