Unrestricted core funding for small organisations that keep being funded for projects and never for existing.

Overview

Project funding pays for the work but not for the organisation doing it. This grant is deliberately unrestricted: salaries, rent, insurance, accounting, the coordinator who holds everything together. Reporting is one page and a conversation.
