Here some comments:

 - the angle CU students -> Hackerspace is great. Mention also the other way round: CU students will bring their research projects to the Hackerspace where they engage the community in participation, possibly even attracting them to CU. This is already happening with the autoponics project.

- an important aspect of their willingness to fund this is inclusiveness. They don't want white-male-only clubs that even bully other groups that try to join. (Has happened in the past and got shut down by the university.) You can mention that the existing Hackerspace is a diverse group including women, and other minorities (low-income, low education), not typically found in STEM (science technology, engineering and math). You can also mention that the Hackerspace extends beyond activities at the ITLL (every CU student can use these resources) by non-traditional engineering including craft technologies, that attract non-traditional engineers.

The latter is very important and one of the reasons I think your initiative is very important to CU.

For previous clubs we've had registered versus unregistered members,
or official versus ex officio (non-voting) members, but I think
qualified versus unqualified is fine. Also, I'm not sure of SSD's
financial situation, but if $4,000 is what you actually need then you
should ask for more. Also, not sure if this helps for the document but
I'm part of the CU Women in Computing Club so technically you'll have
ties to that community, as well as members of the Craft Tech Lab on
campus.

Cheers,

Halley
