[ctp-tech] Re: JRCT sustainable futures fund

Hey Kim, Fractals co-op thought about going for this last year but decided next to after doing research into what/who they fund. In 2024 we thought - "The things it's been funding for the past 7 years or so are mainly campaign groups and/or advocacy groups. We are definitely not that and we don't have a specific social cause we work toward, especially under the fund's themes. " We decided not to go for it at fractals. If we (GFSC/tech-partners) do go for it it's probably important to frame ourselves with campaigning or advocacy as a primary function/offering of the organisation.

Will make doing everything else a lot easier once those things are sorted. Has anyone successfully applied to JRCT? It would be a bit of a rewrite from our usual one and I was keen to get on with the lottery re-application - i do hate writing to deadlines but it would be nice to be less all-in on the lottery. If anyone can help me do it that would be amazing, not gonna commit right now :) Cheers, Kim -- Dr Kim Foale (they/she<https://name.pn/kim-foale>) Working hours: Mon-Wed 10-5pm.
