NOTE: If you’re looking for free money, this is NOT the place to ask for it. If you read this post, you’ll see that it’s actually about an organization making grants to political groups, not to individuals. There’s no point in your posting here about what you personally need money for. Also, please be careful about posting personal information such as where you live or what your phone number is. You shouldn’t be putting that information out on the Internet so casually.

The Sunlight Network, the non-profit behind Congresspedia and other initiatives, has some mini-grants to give out:

Today, the Sunlight Network (the 501(c)(4) affiliate of the Sunlight Foundation) is announcing a series of “mini-grants” of $1,000 to $5,000 for nonprofit organizations and non-affiliated groups who have creative and innovative approaches to strengthening the relationship between Members of Congress and the citizens they represent.

“It’s a critically important time for citizens to engage. The Sunlight Network wants to enable citizens and community groups to implement the most creative of their ideas that relate to our mission,” said Zephyr Teachout, National Director for the Sunlight Network. “We believe there are many would-be incubators for change who just need a little help, and part of our mission is to provide that financial assistance.”
