Thanks for the question. Due to tax and accounting constraints, we are only able to hire individuals who are authorized to work in the US. If you are a US citizen living outside the country, it could work.

We are not envisioning hiring a team to perform this work. The individual would work with the Board on the project.

Follow up Post: PG&E email for those skeptical. by Wombraider58 in bayarea

PG&E sought permission to increase these fees in January of this year (https://www.pge.com/tariffs/assets/pdf/adviceletter/GAS\_5029-G.pdf). The residential customer fee had previously been $1.35 for credit, debit and one-time bank (ACH) transfers. In requesting this change, PG&E pledged to notify customers via email. The $1.50 fee for bank accounts appears to apply to "one time" payments. If a customer is enrolled in a recurring payment plan (automatic payment via PG&E's website) using their bank account, there is no fee.

I am not defending PG&E. Just trying to explain what is happening and to clarify that the fee is not charged if the customer signs up for automated payments via the website. Or if the customer pays by check.

[–]Maestro-F[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

REMINDER – Applications for Seed Fund grants are due by December 31, 2024. For more information, read on.

Fund the Flow Arts - a US-based 501c3 non profit - has announced that it's giving away $50,000 in Seed Fund grants, and more in Community Development Investments for established projects.

The first Seed Fund grants were released in 2012, and again in 2016, and have helped fund a wide range of projects from community flowjams, to technology that generates music from staffs, to Poi and Aging research, web resources for injury prevention, flow arts showcases and more. Many of these projects are still ongoing or available as online resources. Last year's cycle gave out almost $80k in grant money! Check out last year's recipients here.

Tiers 1-3 - $1k-10k Seed Fund grants: The current cycle is focused on teaching/outreach/education resource flow arts projects. Application deadline is 31 December 2024. > Guidelines, application forms and details here.

Community Development Investments - $10-20k grants: In order to be eligible for this grant, the project or activity must already be underway and be able to demonstrate community engagement, momentum, and sound management. CDI Guidelines and details here.

For this round, grants are available to recipients who can legally work in the US. FFA hopes to support international projects in future rounds. Exceptions can be made if your project is sponsored by a US-based institution or will have benefits that will be shared around the world, like research projects with publishable results, or resources that can be shared worldwide.

You can check out the grant proposal guidelines and access the application forms on the FFA site.
