DYNAMIC EDGE TECH GRANT APPLICATION

The Dynamic Edge Tech Grant program exists to help local non-profit organizations fund a project they may have put aside due to funding issues, lack of expertise, or both. Dynamic Edge aims to assist a local non-profit by either kick starting a specific IT project, helping the organization assess and budget for its long term IT needs, or assessing and maintaining an existing technology project. Because each organization’s needs are different, your project ideas are limited only by your imagination.

Sample projects include, but are not limited to:

	IT budget and planning

	Financial software (Ex: QuickBooks, etc.) assessment and or training

	Web site development or redevelopment

	Network assessment and maintenance

	Business or process consulting

	Database creation or revitalization

	New server installation or maintenance

	Search engine optimization / AdWords

Rules & Eligibility Requirements

PLEASE NOTE: The deadline has been extended from October 15th to November 18th!

Submissions will be accepted from September 15, 2008 to November 18th, 2008. Finalists may receive additional instructions after November 18, 2008. Winners will receive notification by December 1, 2008.

In Michigan, the organization must be a 501(c)(3) and be located in Wayne, Macomb, Oakland, or Washtenaw county. In Tennessee, the organization must be a 501(c)(3) and be located in Williamson, Davidson, Cheatham or Sumner county.

The Dynamic Edge Tech Grants are awarded in the form of service hours from Dynamic Edge. The grant size will be determined by the associated project, and will not exceed $2,500 worth of hours. The object of the grant is to supplement associated labor costs of project implementation. The Grant does not cover hardware or software costs.
