Ask Slashdot: With Grants Drying Up, How Is a Tech Non-Profit To Survive?

Posted by Unknown on Monday June 3, 2013 @02:02PM from the unicorns-probably dept.

helios17 writes "Non-Profits like this have traditionally gotten started from the money grants provide. Most grants award vehicles, computers, and even pay for organization rental and utility costs. The problem fledgling and even established non-profits are encountering is the dwindling number of grants allowing for Operating or General Support costs. What good is a vehicle received via grant if you can't afford to put fuel in it? With the number of Operating or General Support grants shrinking and those available funds competed for heavily, should we be looking on line for help? Can efforts like this be a better way to approach it?"

50 BJs a day? Thats pretty damn impressive in and of itself. Seems like you could do better in a circus or carnival or something with that kind of speed. Maybe a glory hole at a truck stop?
