<div dir="ltr">Thank you so much for considering a grant to support the Promote Drupal initiative. We raised over $50,000 already and feel confident that we will reach our $100,000 goal. However, if we do not, we will still move forward with our Promote Drupal initiative. As a matter of fact, we are already organizing internally with a core community group. This is one of those efforts that has so much energy that it won't stop due to funding. However, having the right level of funding will make it more sustainable and impactful.<div><br></div><div>Thank you again for considering this way to support Drupal.</div><div><br></div><div>With gratitude,</div><div><br></div><div>Megan Sanicki</div><div>Executive Director</div><div>Drupal Association</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 8, 2018 at 1:23 AM, Donna Benjamin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:donna@kattekrab.net" target="_blank">donna@kattekrab.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Via mobile. <br>

I’ll refer this question to Megan and follow up when I have a response. <br>

<br>
I don’t have access to recent event budgets so council will need to respond to this. The events I was personally involved in ran to surplus, I can’t speak as confidently for the others. <br>
