SPRING ORGANIZING GRANT Texas College Democrats will be awarding an Organizing Grant with a prize of $200 to one of its chapters this semester (Spring 2012). To apply for the grant chapters are asked to create a video highlighting their political activities so far this semester (activities can include, but are not limited to: voter registration drives, blockwalks, phonebanks, rallies, and lobbying). The video is to be no more than 2 minutes long. To be considered, the video and the completed application (see below) need to be submitted to both President David DelaFuente (ddelafuente@txcollegedems.org) and Secretary Lizzy Joyce (ljoyce@txcollegedems.org) via e-mail formatted as a downloadable MPEG before April 1, 2012. Grant applications will be judged by the TCD Executive Board, whose final decision may not be contested. The caliber of each chapters highlighted activities will be weighed more heavily than the quality of the video itself. By submitting an application the chapter grants TCD all rights and permissions to its video.
