@tomstafford very interesting! (my job being, in part, the awarding of grant funding...)

@jbenjamint thanks for reading!

What's your decision process, broadly, for making awards?

@tomstafford I'm going to say, "traditional", but dependent in some of the details on the funder.

The most recent process I've been involved with culminated with a young persons portfolio build - once the long list of fundable projects was established, we invited a group of young people (representing the target participant group) to whittle that down to the final list.

@jbenjamint that sounds really neat!
@tomstafford @RoRInstitute just read this via the email newsletter - very cool!
