FIRST MESSAGE · EMAIL · TO A FOUNDER WHO RECEIVED A GRANT IN THIS ECOSYSTEM

Hi Wren, congrats on your grant. I run Open Hours, a time bank where neighbours swap hours of help, confirmed by both sides. Before I apply, could I ask what reviewers cared about most? Two lines would help a lot.

4. Approach a local civic or social impact fund

30 min

Traditional funders also back time banks.

FIRST MESSAGE · EMAIL · TO LOCAL FOUNDATION PROGRAM OFFICER

Hi Martin, we run a neighbourhood time bank: 64 members, 310 hours of help confirmed by both sides. We want to extend it to two more estates. Could we talk about your community fund?
