FEAST hamilton is a new community micro-funding event and is looking for Artists Project Proposals.  FEAST  (Funding Engaging Actions and Sustainable Tactics) is a series of community dinners and micro-funding events that bring people together with the aim of supporting local projects through funds raised at each FEAST event.

In exchange for dinner (Thursday, April 25) and a ballot, attendees donate $20 towards the evenings project grant, which are presented during dinner and dessert.  The project with the most votes is awarded the raised funds.

How FEAST hamilton works:

1.  Buy a ticket for a FEAST dinner

2.  Enjoy dinner, conversation, and project presentations with your friends and community

3.  Vote for the project you would like to fund

4.  Be part of a great night and a community that funds projects.
