Subject: grant opportunity

Ram and Bikash:
      Please see the attached announcement of a potential grant.  
      You asked me yesterday about "teaching" you how to effectively operate a nonprofit organization.  As you read through the attached announcement, you will see that it is designed for groups pretty similar to Bhutanese Artists of GA.  If you get a grant, you get some cash (not a whole lot), for whatever program you describe, and also get a "Neighborhood Coach."   I am one of the coaches. If you are interested in potentially applying for this please let me know.  If you get it, they would pay a coach  (maybe me?) for working with you for around 6 months (or potentially a year.)  

I could work with you on applying for this grant.  You do not have to be a 501c3.   They have funded some refugee/immigrant groups  (Sagal Radio, Bhutanese Community of GA) in the past.  
     Notice that Feb 23 is the deadline for proposals.   Let me know if you want to consider applying for this - I can work with you on it, but we would need to get going.

Thanks.
