I am planning a big event in November.  If you have promotional materials to send out, I'd be happy to advertise the foundation?

Thank you very much Hannah, All support is appreciated by us, we need as much of it as we can get.

Rachel Harrison, our Chief, will post bulletins when we have news. We currently have two projects that we have given grants for, so we should be seeing some results soon. 

As you will have gathered, the Foundations principle run on a much better system compared to that of Kickstarters. Something that I hope alot of steampunkers will come to understand over time.

Hallo!  I am the sweetly feminine side of the Professor Algernon League (http://www.professoralgernon.com) and am interested in seeing what other creative steampunks are up to.  We attempted a Kickstarter project, but it failed miserable, probably because we are fairly unknown at this point.  We am interested in the guidelines of this lovely foundation and, upon our success, we will most certainly contribute to its ongoing support of this unique population of starving artists.

A huge Thank You to Draven Kane for his participation in a Charity Poker Tournament where the Foundation was the beneficiary! He has worn his voice out talking to people about our group and the proceeds of the tournament, just over $200.00 US will become available to grant applicants so please apply!

It has come to the attention of the board, that some users are under the impression the the Foundation is a scam.

 

I would like to express that we have produced our first grant for funds to a user that submitted an application. The lady in question was granted $75 and we shall be keeping you all upto date on progress of the project.

 

I trust this will settle any opinion that we are not con-artists....and this is a legit charity which Steampunks interests at heart!

I am no longer going to attend WSE... I do hope someone else will be able to represent the Foundation there. 

 

I still plan on attending both Wichita, Kansas events, the AnimeCon and Emerald City Steampunk Expo, and I will keep the group up to date on other events where I might be able to represent them.  SteamCon is a definite, and there may be more.

The First SSPF Art Raffle is about to begin! We hope to have several of these raffles to raise funds for the Foundation and hope you'll all play along! The first item up for raffle is this set of stunning goggles made by Nash the Tinkerer.

In order to enter the raffle please visit the link we'll be posting below and donate $1.00 to the Foundation. Be sure to put down your name so we know who the winner is when we draw a name on the 22nd of April! Best of Luck!

Draven as fascinating as that is it does not belong in this group unless you are using it to promote the Foundation. If you are contact Kat via the website for promotional materials thank you

I am very comfortable speaking at cons and I plan on going to NorWest Con in April and the Port Townsend Victorian Festival in March.  If you would like me to do presentations, please contact me asap with info and scripts etc.  You can reach me at cmariahn.scarborough@gmail.com.  I will also be attending SteamCon 3 in October, and sponsoring  a Steampunk Tweedride in May.
