Incahoots: Community MicroFunding

Every few months In-cahoots hosts a dinner where everyone and anyone is welcome. The suggested donation is $10. Three members of our community make brief presentations describing a project they have that needs funding. It could be an artist who wants to paint a mural, a neighbor who wants to start a community garden, or a teacher who wants a professional writer to help her students write a play. The project could be anything that benefits the community. Everyone at the dinner votes and the project that gets the most votes wins the money collected at the door. Voila!   WHAT IT IS • A public dinner• A forum for connection and discussion• An experiment in democratic microfunding• An opportunity to support creative people in Corvallis• A way to promote action and change• A fun evening!   HOW TO SUPPORT IN-CAHOOTS • Attend the dinner. And bring a friend. Children and families are welcome! • Donate soup, bread, or cookies. • Volunteer. Join the team.  Help us organize In-cahoots events. • Spread the word to teachers, artists, farmers, innovators, helpers and thinkers of all kinds.  If someone you know has a good idea, but needs a little funding to get it going, tell them about In-cahoots and encourage them to apply!
