[GLAM] Input needed on outreach-related Individual Engagement Grant proposals!

[Chris Schilling]

Hey folks,

In the current round of Individual Engagement Grants (IEG), applicants have
submitted many proposals oriented toward outreach activities, partnerships,
and increasing the availability of sources to create content. I’ve listed
these below with brief descriptions.

Community members with GLAM-outreach experience are well suited to comment
on these ideas, and applicants are seeking your feedback! If one of these
ideas interests you, consider reading it over, and feel free to endorse,
express concerns, make suggestions, and ask questions. Your input and
expertise will help the applicants develop better proposals, and support
the IEG Committee during their evaluation. Comments are requested until
October 19th.


You are, of course, welcome to check out and comment on other IEG
applications for this round
