[Noisebridge-discuss] Hologlyphic-Movie/Noisbridge grant funding re-application

[Rachel Lyra Hospodar]

As far as the non-fiscal stuff goes, it all sounds fine.  I am still not
clear on the structure of your money stuff.  If money needs to be
granted/disbursed *by* noisebridge, at all, then we need to craft an
agreement.  If you are using part of the grant money to pay noisebridge
dues or make compensatory donations *to* NB, via another financial
entity, then that isn't necessary.

thanks
R.
