There are very few times that I have ever stopped a project due to lack of interest. Usually there is a lack in information, or communication- but not a lack in interest.
The best example that I have of this is with the work that we did on the T.T.C.- We applied to a few different places for funding, and all of them turned us down. Just because you don’t get a grant doesn’t mean the idea’s not possible. So I kept going. We constantly edited and re-edited our operating budget, kept our expenses in check, and actually ended up with a surplus- all of which has been put towards this project.
And in this case, it wasn’t a lack in interest- on our last run, we had accumulated more media than we had ever imagined. So clearly it was interesting enough, but it took us a while to break into enough mediums, and get the right information out there.
So, whether we gain the corporate interest from a Grant Committee or not, this project is happening.
So if you are looking for a reason to vote today, do it because we are determined to make it happen, grant or no grant!
