I've been working in the non-profit sector too long! As not for profit agencies have no core funding, when they want to deliver a service, they call it a 'project' and do up proposals for funding from various other businesses/foundations, what have you.

While in the bathroom today (It's where my ideas sometimes hit) I came up with a brilliant idea. When I was in Grade 6, I had the idea of starting an online resource for teens/young adults with disabilities. Believe it or not, there aren't many. We did manage to get funding for this project through GrassRoots, but after I left that school in June of 1999, the site became inactive.

So, my revalation in the bathroom was: Why not try to get things going again? I'm older, wiser, have better computer access and more contacts in the not-for profit world. I'd try to have things on the site like articles, a newsletter, a chatspace, all geared towards youth with physical disabilities.

I'll be pitching this idea to several people at the Independent Living Resource Centre and the Canadian Paraplegic Association just to name a few. They may have interesting input and an idea as to where I might apply for funding. Funding will be important if I end up needing/wanting things like server space or a domain name.

So...what do people think?
