Applying for FOSS United grant

I had considered to apply for FOSS United grant before, so I am interested to do it. I don't their terms and conditions, so I will read up on them.

It would be helpful if those who applied on FSCI's behalf, can share either a format they used or some suggestions that can be helpful.

here's the email we sent

@kishy submitted the proposal for fsci.

Hello, I had contacted FOSS United to know the process, however they gave a bit negative reply. Maybe I am wrong, so let me know. Pasting their reply below -

We are already supporting a few privacy-preserving services through the

grants program (fossunited.org/grants), and suggest you try working with

them to understand how you can sustain the infrastructure costs for the

project. Please post about the project on forum.fossunited.org so you can

get some visibility, users and maybe even donations. That said, we will be

unable to approve this request at the moment.

Also, I have made a Draft Proposal based on the format shared above. Please feel free to give feedback.

Maybe we should also consider applying to Nagarathna Memorial Grant.

One issue is that I have mentioned Poddery.com's XMPP service. Poddery comes under FSCI, and FSCI has already got a FOSS United Grant. So, it is like asking twice for a same service (or a part of it).
