(Work in Progress)

Microgrant Process Review is a short project started by Shalf in his role as Board Member to propose and implement improvements to this important internal tool we have as an association to support and nurture great stuff.

Proposal

State of the Microgrant Process

Why?

How to apply

The process we used so far was as follow:
1 microgrants contact point for the community (@ana at the moment).
2. Upon receiving a request, this person immediately asks the whole board by email (using the board@hackuarium.com email address) and waits for 3 positive replies.
3. If 3 members of the board support the request, it is a green light.
4. If there are concerns within 48 hours, negative opinions, it gets discussed at the next board meeting (within a month).
