Tanda Foundation
Now collecting for January 2009*!. We made a Sopa Dominical in benefit of the Foundation and collect some devaluated pesos for the January Tanda Ca$h. More details at our documentation page.
Tanda Foundation is an experimental and informal not for profit held and run by its users. We aim to found new ways and means to support creative practice, without relying in institutional inertia (or the lack of it) and encouraging our members to give small donations to build a public fund for support our creative practice and decide our own cultural agenda. The Foundation aims to be an accountable platform of funding for its users, where the process of application, reviewing, voting, and collection of funds is accesible to all its Patrons and Candidates.
The Foundation relies on 2.0 infrastucture to exist with minimal costs and labor. Think in an automatic not-for-profit.
For more information about our Grant 2.0 system, please visit our F.A.Q. section. Also we have a Desk dedicated to the administration and Works section, ready to showcase the projects funded and some documentation about our simple mechanisms for collect funds for the inaugural Tanda.

Tanda is an informal economy system practice mainly by illegal immigrants, unable to join the formal economy system. The groups are formed by people that know and trust each, and make regular contributions to create a fund. Tanda Foundation is inspired in this practice.
