The first 100 days of Donald Trump’s presidency begin Friday.
By that date, The Sprout Fund plans to announce the recipients of its 100 Days of US grants, awarded to Pittsburghers who have ideas about how to make the city better during the president-elect’s first few months in office.
Individuals and teams submitted more than 150 ideas in nearly 20 categories — from education to housing & homelessness. You have until noon Thursday to both like the concepts you, well, like, and donate money via Crowdrise so some of those ideas can become realities.
At least $5,000 must be raised for each issue area so it can be unlocked and an idea can be funded. Sprout put $4,000 into each category, as well as several thousand dollars into a general fund, and also asked individuals to donate. Mac Howison, a senior program officer for Sprout, said there’s some fluidity about where the money raised can go. For example, money from the general fund can be used to unlock an issue area or fund multiple ideas in a category with a lot of community interest.
