Just a little tid bit here but you can win $100 cash every 3 weeks for the best story under the spoken word category on makeastar.com

You can submit an audio file from your computer or do live web cam off the site and it's fun.

Thanks for the invite. I know that there are funds out there, but have never known just how to access them. Seems grant writing is the specialty of few who have figured out the right "buzz words" and nomenclatures. The student is ready and looking for the teacher(s)

Hello Everyone;

Please check your freindship request and either accept them or reject them. But please don't let them sit idle. If one hundred people do that, if keeps others from making new friends. Just go to your friends tabs, the little silloettes at the top right of your page, under your name and click it. I expect if you haven't found it by now... you may have many pending new friends.

Just a tip.
Buck

Thanks to seeds of inspiration from here I am meeting tommorow with a high school reading coordinator and a train museum liason to plan grants and storytelling with them. I think the train museum will be a fun venue and can picture some program ideas I think they will love. I know this whole process will take awhile but I can see that the ball has begun rolling and thats what counts. Making things happen this week! Carol

Thanks for the invite. One of my graduate independent study projects is to learn how to write grants for a new project I am working on called Stories Alive which will allow me and other tellers to take storytelling into the rural schools here in Florida. I can use any info that this forum will allow me to glean.

Always a tale to tell,
MyLinda

Good stuff, Dianne and Tim. There are plenty of storytellers on this forum with years of experience with grantwriting. I'm a novice but willing to learn more. And the more information shared here, the more we will all benefit.

I'll be" listen in" as you all share grant knowledge and questions.For us newer storytellers this website is such a boost. I have been wanting to learn more about grants to be able to approach venues and present an idea and a way to pay for it! Now I am on the right track to that place and most likely somewhere better! Thanks again everyone. Carolyn Stearns

This is a good idea. Thanks for inviting me. Did you get my book pdf to review?

Welcome, Leeny and Tom and Mary Jo! I think everyone will have something to contribute to this group. I hear about grant opportunities at work--being a librarian, quite often the grants could be applied to storytelling as well. Recently there was one from Hamburger Helper--now who would think? But we applied for funds for the new bookmobile we want to buy. Could a storytelling event or group qualify? Probably. These were meant for community activities--a creative storyteller could come up with a proposal that fit their guidelines.

Thanks for the invite! I've written a few local grants and certainly have been hired as the result of someone else writing one....
But getting paid with MONEY is good and I'm married to GRANT (his name), so it seems fitting that I join this group. Live the Story!Leeny
