November Awesome Fellow

In very exciting news, I found out today (well, actually I found out last week, but it was officially announced today) that I’ve received the November Awesome Ottawa grant from the Awesome Foundation for Hello Ottawa!

The Awesome Ottawa Foundation consists of a group of 10 trustees from a variety of sectors who donate some of their own money each month to fund a local project. It’s a really great model.

I applied for the grant to help out with transcription services for Hello Ottawa, since transcribing interviews takes up a large amount of my time and is the main reason the waiting list to participate is so long. Huge, huge thanks to Awesome Ottawa for making me their November Fellow.
