My goal is to raise $10,000 and split it into 4-5 microgrants.

Ideally I'd like to have at least one be a person who hasn't started a project yet, so that this is the boost they need to get going.

FWIW people like me need LAWYERS as well if not more than just the money

1. IP lawyers to help secure trademarks, logos & domain names; that understand the dynamics of getting them and how difficult it is to secure that from squatters/extortionists. know too many black folks like me who lost domains due no $ nor lawyers

2. lawyers to incorporate; especially with COOP experience.

and with that

3. we need coop mentors; to help structure the work & sustainability

@blogdiva @tchambers @evan @eveiswurzig I occasionally do legal work for a coop in Oklahoma so have a limited amount of experience with a variety of coop law issues.

I think coops have a tremendous possibility for social good, so If anyone is looking to set up a progressively-minded #coop under #Oklahoma law, I am willing to donate 2 hours of pro Bono time to help with the startup process.
