Application and acceptance of Local Board accomodation grant
We are applying for an accomodation grant via the local council board. Funding is to help pay for rent of the spaces so that membership fees can be invested more directly in purchasing more tools, materials and consumables. There are some conditions that come with accepting money from the local board. These will be described below:
+photos of the activity are to be provided to the local board
• invitation to the activity to be extended to the local board
• speaking opportunity for local board delegate at any event, function, project launch
• inclusion of local board logo on advertising and display of local board branding at events
• reference to local board funding in any media releases or other communication to the public.

Just a reminder to please write a reason why you vote a certain way (this is especially important if you disagree)
The reason it's important is because if people disagree, we should explore why someone disagrees and if there's some way the proposal can be changed so everyone is happy

After talking with @ryan11 I suggest we add a condition that we never commit to spending more than we're organically getting in, without council support (so as to avoid any dependency or lock in)

I think that's a really good thought. The last thing you want is to become reliant on the money to remain open. That would mean that we need to set the requested amount to the value of the current incoming donations. I think the council will see this as prudent. I would vote yes, with this condition.

How much funding would we potentially get, and why is it an “accommodation” grant?
