Hello and thank you for making the effort to complete this questionnaire. We are excited to get to know you and your initiative a little better!
Please be as clear and succinct as you can in your responses. If one or more of your answers requires a great deal of information or supplemental documents, there is a question where you can link to or upload additional documents.
We recently applied for philanthropic funding, which we found to be a highly valuable process. We were able to refine our funding proposal significantly by reviewing Y Combinator’s How to Apply page. Even though their realm and approach are quite different, this guidance helped us to be more crisp in articulating what we do and why it matters ~ you may find it helpful as well.
We use the word 'initiative' in this questionnaire to refer to the main focus of your passion, purpose and work in the world. This may be a full-fledged business organization or an idea that's been incubating within you for some time. If you don't yet have an initiative, please let us know that and, where applicable, tell us instead about the area(s) in the regenerative movement about which you are most excited and the ways in which you see yourself making a contribution.
