Sorry, we are no longer awarding grants. Every day, all over the world, people are delving into projects that they have no idea how they will finance. If you listen carefully you can hear the sound of all that fearless delving. We find ways to make everything inexpensively, but still, rent can't be paid with a picture of the sun. It is always amazing to be given money for doing your own projects. Learning To Love You More grants are only $500, but hopefully they help to express our admiration for your reports. The recipients are chosen by us solely on the basis of their reports; in other words, by submitting a report you automatically become a contender, no applications necessary. The grantees may spend their grant money in any way that they think would be useful.
