[Noisebridge-discuss] grant writing

[Christie Dudley]

Fiscal sponsors are typically involved in situations where an organization
is not a 501(c)(3) and would like to apply for a grant.  We are in a good
position to not have to give money to a sponsor.  Getting such a grant would
involve more effort from the treasurer to report monies spent, but because
of our "open book" financial policy, it's not any functional change from
what we do already.
