Pressure from friends made me write this.
About a year and a half ago, Tammy and I wanted to apply for a Teva Life Agent Grant for this project. We thought making a video application might not be too hard. Well, we were wrong, but thanks to the tireless efforts of one Jessup Bangham, we completed it…just in time for Teva to pull the grant off the table. Anyway, we all get good laughs from our horrible acting, but at the same time, it captures the spirit of our adventure, framing it in the voice of the great movie, a must for all adventurers: The Man Who Would Be King. Here is the YouTube Link.
If you comment, please be merciful….
Cheers!

What does the overall project cost per person? What is your budget? What percentage of the budget has been covered by grants and donations? Have you set yourself up as a non-profit? Also, if you have budget, you can hire professional grant writers. And, do the team members pay their own way? Just curious how this works. Thanks for any info.

Hello Carolyn!
Sorry I didn’t see this post the last time I looked. First off, did you know we already have one of CLark’s relatives going with us. Do you know Alex Basarabas? !!! In short, we have a team of 8, its $3900/pp. Grants and donations have covered about 10% of our costs. Not yet a NP. No extra money budgeted for grantwriters….yet. We’ve written for a few of our own and received one. Team members are paying their own way and some of the common costs.
