Grant Wednesday- Dec 3, 2025 and LIVE Grant applying TODAY
Hey Fam,
Before we jump into Grant Wednesday, I want to apologize for the delay in getting this newsletter out. Yesterday I had to go to urgent care for a medical matter. I’m doing OK today, but it was a real reminder that I cannot continue pouring into this community by myself at the pace we’re growing.
If you have a heart for this work and are interested in supporting the community, please DM me. I’m looking for the right people to help me keep this running strong.
Also — Grant Sprint Live is happening TODAY at noon, and we’re applying for a for-profit grant step-by-step. Don’t miss it.
Now let’s get into this week’s grants.
