All of this makes sense! How about I send them an email this weekend requesting
they submit by Tuesday afternoon (August 29). Is that soon enough? How
Here’s what I’ve seen so far, that helped me arrive at that decision. Of the
people that have responded, we have a majority of people that are in favor of
granting a new (soon) deadline:
Sue: Yes
Brian: Yes
Jacoby: No preference
Lukas: Yes
Lena: Unknown
Any questions, comments, grievances, let me know!

I generally lean toward not granting extensions. On the other hand, they are
the only such request, so it wouldn't affect our process that much. Please
give them a new due date that is firm and really soon.

Upon reflection, I think an extension would not be a bad thing. If we have a
close choice between them and another org., then I think we should consider
the deadline issue.

I REALLY wanted them to apply, but I am down for whichever decision the team
votes for.

Asunto: Re: Extended RFP Deadline
Dear all,
We were in the middle of crucial work in our organization and were not
able to fill up the form. We are in a place in which because of capacity
we have often times to make decisions of doing the work or building
capacity. In this case the work couldn't wait.
Would it be possible to turn in a differed proposal? Our organization does
immigration and education justice within the Latino community and it's led
by undocumented immigrants and DACA holders.
Kind Regards
Emilia Avalos

Hello,
The deadline for the First Universalist Holiday Giving Program
Application/RFP has been extended to August 15, 2017. You can fill out an
application/proposal here at: https://goo.gl/forms/omSfJ78IdynMiDji2 ;
<https://goo.gl/forms/omSfJ78IdynMiDji2>.
Please consider applying for this opportunity to receive up to $60,000 to
fund your non-profit organization's programs that are committed to
furthering racial equity.
Should you have any questions about the application process, please feel
free to follow-up with any questions.
A quick reminder of what the First Universalist Holiday Giving Program is:
Every other year, First Universalist Church encourages the entire
congregation of First Universalist Church to re-imagine the winter
holidays and how we can best practice our faith during a time that is
often filled with over consumption and excess. We invite our members and
friends to reduce their holiday spending by 50% and to give the money they
save to the "Holiday Giving Project." Each year, we select a recipient of
the funds that aligns with our values. We prioritize organizations that
have a clear racial justice focus, and that offer meaningful ways for
members of the church to engage with the organization (we recognize this
varies, based on the organization.)
One of the ways we continue to respond to the challenging times we find
ourselves in is by living our values out loud. The Holiday Giving Program
is one of those ways, as we practice generosity, and deeper engagement
with and support of those working for justice in our community. We
anticipate the possibility of raising up to $60,000, based on past year's
experience, but it may be less.
Best Wishes,
Jacoby Daniels
