[Education] [Communications] Open Letter to CCGA

[Lorraine Kells]

Hello Anastas,

Carefully reading through your open letter, I'm struck that you've already
contacted the . and the best people to help you realize your vision.
Congratulations on getting this far, but at this point, if you've not heard
favorably from anyone you contacted on this email, it's likely that we
cannot offer any resolution or way forward.  As a network of community
gardeners, we cannot your personal enterprise of building a home on your
lot. Most nonprofit organizations that we are award of will not support
private enterprise

It looks like you will have a lot of grant writing and fund raising at this
point in your venture.  CCGA does not have a grant writing resource.  You
should start looking for one. If you would continue to build capacity for
community only, not for  personal or private use, you might contact
https://www.chicagogrowsfood.org/connect-with-gardeners/.  It is one
resource you may not have tried and might be worth making a connection.

Best of Luck,
CCGA Communications
CCGA Education Committee
