CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Philly Stake
Theresa Rose
Stake's goal is to fund Philadelphia creative projects as directly as possible. The application is simple, just 4 questions and 4 images. The first 15 proposals that fulfill all of the following criteria will be included in the dinner election.
If funded, you will be responsible for making a presentation to the Stake community regarding your progress on this project at the next Stake event (approximately 2-3 months after the September dinner).

CRITERIA
This grants funds Philadelphia-based creative projects. Stake grants are projecting specific; they do not fund an artist's individual studio work, nor art gallery/non-profit organizations' overall work.
QUESTIONS
1. Describe the project a STAKE Grant would help you accomplish (approx. 100 words):
2. How will you use the grant toward the realization of your project? $750 is your imaginary budget (50 words):
3. A little about yourself and what led you to your current creative goals. This may include a previous project of yours, ways it both succeeded and failed (this can be entirely unrelated to your proposal) (100 words):
Submit 4 digital images (up to 2 MB each) relating to your project or past projects in order to better illustrate your words above. (Examples: sketches for project proposal, photomontage, maps, diagrams, or other related imagery) Each image should be numbered. Also, attach a corresponding numbered list of one-sentence descriptions for each image. These will be used at the event.
To submit a proposal email: stake...@gmail.com . Your answers will be displayed at the event for all Stake attendees and they'll vote on their favorites. That's all there is to it!
Proposals will be accepted as they are submitted, on the assigned due date, until the 15 spots are filled. Proposals will be made available on the Philly STAKE website one week prior to the event and will be posted in the dining room. Applicants will be given 3-4 minutes to present on their proposal. Projects should be ready to implement once money is awarded.
