[IAEP] MacArthur 100&Change: Admin Review Update

[Laura Vargas]

Hi all,

This application was very hard work, but it was worthy as it helped me
shaped the vision of an OS for-girls-only inspired in Sugar :D

Unfortunately, we didn't pass to the final round for the $100 million
grant!

Hopefully next year more volunteers can help me in the Funding Committe so
that our small community shall expand its wings!


Regards

> robust administrative screening process to ensure that each one met all
> requirements before advancing on to the next stage of judging.

> Your application was reviewed in a two-step screening process and was

> therefore would not advance to the next round of judging. The primary
> reason your application was deemed ineligible is provided below:
>
> The information provided about the project budget, timeline, and/or

> In many cases, our administrative reviewers identified more than one

> We certainly recognize that this news will be disappointing, but note this

> applications.
>
> We do, however, plan to include the executive summary of your proposal in
> materials that we anticipate sharing with other funders, in the hope that
> you may find other support to make your idea a reality. As we plan to
> repeat 100&Change every three years, you may also wish to consider
> submitting a revised proposal in the next round of the competition.
>
> Again, we appreciate your interest in 100&Change and applaud your desire
> to help solve an important problem of our time.
