"Meeting Our Makers"
From May through July
Free Columbia's Social Theory and Action Program is teaming up with local organizations Purpose Making and PLOT (the Philmont Community Land Trust) for a small series of events: tours of several existing local businesses followed by a seedfunding session where 4 or 5 new community-oriented businesses will present a pitch for a $2,000 or $3,000 microgrant. The focus will be on initiatives that support life in the local community, solve an issue, and/or improve how local businesses operate.
If you would like to find out more about joining the business tour, or if you would like to attend, contribute to, or make a pitch at the seedfunding session, let Seth Jordan know at seththomasjordan@gmail.com.
(And this Friday, May 24, there will be a short information session at 6pm as part of Purpose Making’s "Welcome Wagon" at 100 Main Street in Philmont. The welcome wagon is from 5-7pm and will be a nice opportunity to socialize and find out more about this project. All are welcome!)
