CREDERE 

 
What is most needed right now is to recognize each other.
 
To see, believe in, and support the work that each one of us has come here to do.
 
It is only through empowerment by the community that individuals can find their right livelihood and place within the community.

In this spirit,Think OutWord is proud to announce the second cycle of grants by the Credere Fund.
 
We are again offering 2 grants: "Art + Anthroposophy" & "Social Change + Anthroposophy." 
 
Both are worth up to $2000. Applications must be postmarked by October 16, 2009. Apply today!
(Both grants are matching grants: an anonymous donor has pledged $1000 towards each grant so long as the Credere Fund is able to raise the same amount from the larger community. Please donate.)
 
***We are also planning to offer a loan for business entrepreneurship later in the year, so please check back in.
