From what we heard, it really was luck at one point of the selection
process. We, and many other, asked for anything at all we could do to
improve - and they told us that we were exactly what they wanted,
please apply again next year. Last year they tried funding more "new"
organizations than in the past, hopefully they do that again this year
to our benefit. I also think it was our first time applying, perhaps
they prefer repeat applications.
I do appreciate an extra set of eyes, please read over the ideas list
and try to research what others have done.
Cheers,
Scott
