Cohousing-L Mailing List: grants

[Shava Nerad (shava]

Are any of the communities out there incorporated in such a way that they
can write grants for funding?  We're considering chartering our coho 
community as an educational center for environmental/appropriate tech
issues, having a formal mini-conference center and dormitory, and 
creating a village of electronic cottages, wired up for Internet, and 
running on a combination of alternative energy tech, and demonstrating
sustainable ag tech.  Someone must have thought of this before...  I 
know that there are intentional communities in this area, but not coho
arrangements, that do this kind of thing, but I don't know if they got
grants for it...

Thanks!
