The Start Something program’s goal is to support community members launching projects that build skills, resources, and understanding between people at Lupinewood.

Projects in the Start Something program get support from the Institute through…
-Financial support to help free up the time to launch a new project and afford the starting equipment and infrastructure.
-Support for creating the plans, systems, and materials needed to successfully run a project.
-Membership to a collective of community projects that support each other’s work, learn from each other, and share in fundraising and administration.

Applying
Applications are developed between October and December.

On the first Sunday in October there’s an info session at 3pm about how Start Something works and how to apply held at Lupinewood: 172 Highland Ave, Greenfield, Mass.

If afterwards you’re interested in applying we’ll set up three get-togethers with you to give feedback and answer questions as you develop your proposal.

In mid-November you submit your proposal and it gets reviewed as part of the Institute’s yearly planning.

In mid-December you’ll hear back from us about whether your proposal was accepted into the Start Something program.

The proposal
In addition to thoroughly describing what you want to do, your project needs to have an educational component, bring people together at Lupinewood, be directly democratic, and be open to anyone respectful of the space and the other people using it.
