FIRST MESSAGE · WHATSAPP · TO A GRADUATE WHO USED THEIR CERTIFICATE IN A JOB HUNT
Hi Kwame, congrats on the new job. Did your verified certificate come up during hiring? A one sentence quote would help me apply for a grant to bring this to more schools.
3. Write a short, honest application
90 minProblem (forged PDFs), who you serve, numbers, what funding builds (for example, offline claims or more languages). Do not overclaim novelty; this category exists and reviewers know it.
4. Ask a grants lead for feedback before submitting
20 minMany programs have community leads who will look at drafts. Funding is never guaranteed, but fit feedback saves a wasted round.
FIRST MESSAGE · DISCORD DM · TO COMMUNITY GRANTS LEAD
Hi Ama, I'm applying with Credential Kiosk: 12 West African bootcamps issuing verifiable certificates, 900 claimed. Could you tell me if this fits the current round before I submit?
