The Federation of Students and Nominally or Unemployed Artists, or if you prefer: the Generosity Foundation, recently handed out free money in Union Square. The catch? You just need to explain what creative endeavour the money will go towards. They explain, "We give small, unsecured grants in the form of $10-$60 for creative projects thought up on the spot by everyday people." This time around they had $1000 to hand out, after each member raised $100 themselves.
Their goal is "to re-inspire dormant desires to create while presenting an example of generosity without an ulterior motive." [via Urban Prankster]

nice concept...although there might be some room for abuse.
but i like to see the diversity of the people getting these "grants," that it's not another BhFh (By hipsters, For hipsters) idea.
let's be serious, most, if not all, spent that money elsewhere. most likely that day.
Totally inspiring and fantastic.
I love that there is obviously room for abuse and it is entirely disregarded! That's something that's been missing for a while. Trust.
Yay for people!
Did I get my grant? Oh I did? oh well, cheers then.
