Another funding tip for Raffi. Have the Central Asian women check
out <a href="http://mamacash.org">mamacash.org</a>, which funds some conference and travel costs for
women in certain parts of the world. A woman attended the Seattle
Practice of Peace from Herzegovina because we suggested she check out
mamacash, she took up our suggestion and voila! she got funds. <br>
<br>
Who knows if it will help your colleagues, Raffi. As Lisa points out in her note,<font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">citizen
engagement, democracy,
social change, sustainability, planning, strategy and community
building are good examples of the kinds of funding criteria that would
fall under the scope of an OSonOS. Mamacash has multiple funding
priorities, all women clients.</span></font><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/17/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Lisa Heft</b> <<a href="mailto:lisaheft@openingspace.net">lisaheft@openingspace.net</a>> wrote:

<p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hi, Raffi -</span></font></p><span class="q">
<p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">About a week ago, you wrote:</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><<i><span style="font-style: italic;">Do you know of any grants that have been written to
fund any aspect of</span></i></span></font></p>
<p><span><i><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">the</span></font></i></span><i><span style="font-style: italic;"> <span>OSonOS</span>? The text of that grant application would be of
interest to</span></i></p>
<p><span><i><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">us</span></font></i></span>.></p>
<p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></font></p></span>
<p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Perhaps this will help with some general parts of the text adapted for
your use.<span> </span>I wrote it as a template
for anyone to use to give to potential <span>funders</span>.<span> </span>At the bottom it says 'send to Open
Space Institute-US' because as you know annually OSI-US gets proposals
from people who may fit its funding criteria and who are seeking funds to go to
an <span>OSonOS</span>.<span>
</span>Next year OSI-US will send a message out to the OSLIST inviting some of
those requests, and they/we (I am on the Board of Directors for OSI-US) will be
able to assist a few individuals, as will some of the other generous and
supportive <span>OSI's</span> around the world, I am sure.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">But Ms. <span>Asanova</span> may find some of the text
useful to send to many other <span>funders</span> who specifically
fund people Central Asian people seeking to learn about citizen engagement, democracy,
social change, sustainability, planning, strategy and community building.</span></font></p>
