Local Tech Company Offers a Poetic Twist to Non-Profit Funding

Tech firm has money
Non-profits get creative
Sure beats grant writing

Kathryn Engelhardt-Cronk, CEO of Community TechKnowledge Inc., spent 25 years working for non-profits, so she knows to what great lengths most must go in order to receive funding. With that in mind, she decided to make the application process a bit different. Instead of laboring over extensive grant applications and mounds of paperwork, Community TechKnowledge, a company that provides technology for non-profits, has offered a $5,000 grant to the non-profit that can best represent its mission with a three-page application and a haiku.

The deadline for application for the money is midnight on Wednesday. So gather your team in the make-shift conference room that doubles as the kitchen and office supplies closet and get those creative juices flowing, all of you non-profiteers.
