[44net] Announcing international grantmaking, starting with the Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC)

Hello 44net! I'm writing to share some exciting news: ARDC has begun to make grants internationally, primarily to 501(c)(3) equivalents (e.g. charitable organizations and schools). The first set of grants will go to the Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC)(darc.de). One of their grants aims to expand the HAMNET in Europe, and the other supports OpenWebRX - a web-based SDR project. You can read more about these grants here: https://www.ampr.org/the-deutscher-amateur-radio-club-e-v-darc-initiates-gr… If you know of 501(c)(3) equivalent international organizations who may be deserving of a grant, please send them our way. We are also seeking partners in different parts of the world who may be able to use ARDC funds to make smaller grants in their region, just as DARC will be doing. Again, please spread the word - we're excited to expand our reach And! We don't plan for our reach to end here either - we'll post more information about further expansions (such as granting to individuals) as soon as we are able. All the best and 73, Rosy PS - you might notice I have a new email address - rosy(a)ardc.net. We're in the process of switching to a new mail server. More information about that coming soon. -- Rosy Wolfe - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ampr.org
