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. Cheers, Oliver ________________________________ From: Kim Foale &lt;kim(a)gfsc.studio&gt; Sent: 11 February 2025 14:37 To: Tech-Partners &lt;tech-partners(a)lists.gfsc.studio&gt; Subject: [ctp-tech] JRCT sustainable futures fund This one has crept up on me, deadline 3 march: https://www.jrct.org.uk/sustainable-future I think its worth putting in a bit to run the initative described in the blog - maybe just to cover my time, a media helper, some equipment and some contributor honorariums for now? 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.
