Subject: Grant Application for King Ryan Foundation's Support of Motherless Babies Homes in Bayelsa

Dear Stacks Ecosystem Grant Committee,

We at the King Ryan Foundation are applying for a grant to support motherless babies homes in Bayelsa. Our effort to provide essentials such as bags, clothing, and food items aligns perfectly with human empowerment, a core interest of the Stacks ecosystem.

Supporting this initiative creates a bond between blockchain's promise and humanitarian aid, highlighting Stacks' commitment to societal impact. It offers a narrative of technology serving foundational community needs and sows seeds of goodwill that can flourish alongside your digital advancements. Ultimately, it showcases how the Stacks ecosystem is not just about building a better internet but also building a better world. Ryan Igbosi Founder, King Ryan Foundation

Hi @Kingryanfoundation -

Thank you for your interest in the Stacks Residency program and for the time you invested in your application. We appreciate your patience as we completed our review process.

After thorough evaluation, we have concluded that the current focus of the Residency program, which emphasizes collaboration with the Stacks Core Engineering Working Group by subject matter experts, may not align closely with the nature of your proposed work. The program is specifically tailored to support individuals who are deeply involved in the core technical development of the Stacks ecosystem.

For insights into the specific goals and ongoing projects of the Stacks Core Engineering teams, we encourage you to join our discussion board. This platform will provide you with a clearer understanding of our current needs and focus areas. We hope this will assist you in refining your proposal to better align with these objectives, and we welcome you to reapply in the future.

Thank you once again for your interest in contributing to the Stacks ecosystem. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Warm regards,

Will Corcoran Ecosystem Program Manager
