Somewhat Above Average Grants

Or...intentionality grants.

I'd like somebody to set up a grant system that awards small discrete amounts of money to people who have plans and ideas, but maybe not the real resume to prove that they can accomplish them.

For instance, you could come up with the first goal in a laundry list of things you need to do to get to your desired end point. And these generous people would cough up the dough to make that happen, based on only the conviction with which you sell the argument. For one that'll train the grant desirer's to learn how to really sell that true love of their goal. And it wouldn't put anybody too far out of their budgets to give a little to the dream.

Sure you'd have to get some safety nets to make it work. But sometimes, 3 to 5 hundred bucks could be all you need, that little bit of extra time or stuff to get started on a goal. And maybe it could even be a progressive grant with goal based incentives and payouts.

Dig that jerks.
