I’m sorry, but after reading the article I’m still unsure what the final decision is.

“ Upon reflection, “Funding Diversification Week” is a bit of a misnomer. From now on we’ll call it “Funding Strategy Week”.”

But the title of this post is still Funding Diversification Week. So what will it be called?

I attended a GWWC presentation at EAGxToronto and can say that I was floored by the compelling graphics.

Fun to see more of where they came from, thanks for the post!

thank you! good job on the quick turnaround!

Congrats EA Nigeria!

Is there any place to see more about who spoke about what? Any recorded talks?

Congratulations! One thing I notice about the board is that it's fast! The filters filter and the pages load quickly. Has a nice feel to it.

Thanks for doing the yeoman's work of building a chapter, gathering applications, reviewing them thoroughly with local context, and sharing your findings here! I'm sorry to hear that you found the most of applications of a low quality, and hope that in time, excellent locally organized charities emerge.

A couple questions that would help me get a fuller picture:

• How did the cash value of the contest winnings compare to other grants that local charities may have spent their time working on? If it was a large value, I would expect these applications to be approximately the best they could do and therefore an higher-fidelity assessment of the charity landscape in your vicinity. If the pot was of a smaller or comparative value to what local charities occupy themselves with, I would imagine they would just throw an application together and not put the diligence you would hope for. The amount it would be over and above normally valued contest entry (or grant application, what have you) would help show if the contestants took your contest as seriously as you did.
• Who were the contestants? Were the contest participants the same 'we' who held the seminars in 2021-2022?

Thanks for this episode and flagging it with a Forum post. Love the little sound that alerts me to links.

This was really cool to read. All quite reasonable predictions IMHO. I'm interested in seeing another one of this type when you get a chance.

I was pulled in by your narrative at the beginning. Maybe end it off with something fun and cultural, maybe a little hint at what dating will be like in the future :)

awww shucks

I met Bolun at EAG and can attest that he's a deeply reflective yet action oriented person. I was impressed at his stories of collaborating with his peers to put together two hackathons. I would recommend employers, mentors, or project leaders to connect with him.
