Hello 44net,
I'm pleased to share that ARDC has updated our granting goals for 2021.
You can see them posted here:
https://www.ampr.org/grantmaking-categories-requirements-goals/
The changes were made following feedback that the previous version was
a bit confusing (including feedback from last year's 44net survey). This
version breaks things down a bit more simply, into 3 high-level categories:
* Support and Growth of Amateur Radio,
* Education, and
* Technical Innovation.
Technical Innovation applies to the following areas:
* Amateur Radio Technology & Experimentation,
* Internet Technologies,
* Digital Communications, and
* Communication Science & Technology
If you are interested in applying for a grant, please take a look at
this new language.
On a related note, we're looking forward to putting resources and effort
into improving the Portal in 2021. I'll have more to share at our
upcoming community meeting on Saturday 06 Feb. Learn more and sign up here:

Like last time, we'll share a report following the meeting for folks who
can't attend, along with supplemental materials, including our
first-ever annual report.
More soon!
Best wishes and 73,
Rosy
