A+ use of that first GIF! I've been wrestling with the fact that this grant could easily be a white elephant: a funding source that costs more than its worth. For instance, who would award this grant? How would that person be compensated? If the idea is to make it an ongoing fellowship, how small will the annual payouts be?
I'm beginning to think that this grant can be most impactful if it piggy-backs and supports existing money. For instance, what if we could add this money to the existing digital scholarship fellowship (which already has the overhead covered) and ask that the fellow engage with LGBTQ projects for a percentage of their time commensurate with the share of the money that comes from our grant?
