What is Asset-Based Community-Driven Development? "Asset-based community-driven development (ABCD), or just asset-based community development, is a bottom-up way of working with communities that focuses on community strengths and assets. ABCD focuses on the half full glass [and] represents the notion that communities (and the people who live there) have many strengths, capacities and assets. It is the half full glass that gives us something to work with...." http://sustainingcommunity.wordpress.com/2013/08/15/what-is-abcd/#<http://sustainingcommunity.wordpress.com/2013/08/15/what-is-abcd/>! 13. IDEA FILE: Indiana Scholars Seek Project Funding through Crowd-Funding Website Community-campus partnerships can be challenging to fund. While crowd-funding hasn't traditionally been seen as a funding source for higher ed. institutions, more and more academics are trying it. http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/24472.html 14. IDEA FILE: UW-Milwaukee's Summer 2013 Field School This project seeks to conserve a city's local cultural heritage through collaborative teaching, engagement and interpretive research. http://blcfieldschool.weebly.com/ 15. Grant funding must be used as granted! In a precedent-setting decision, a three-judge panel in New Jersey has ruled that nonprofit groups cannot ask for money for a specific purpose and then pull a bait-and-switch, spending it on something completely different. Federal funding agencies are similarly strict about grant awards. It can be easy to forget, whether working with public or private sponsors, that the budget submitted with an approved funding proposal is an integral part of what was approved, and therefore must be followed exactly. http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/08/nj_charities_must_return_donations_if_money_is_not_used_as_intended_by_donor_appeals_court_rules.html QUICK LINKS: ENGAGEMENT FUNDING, SUBMISSION CALLS, CONFERENCES, AND MORE: August 2013: * French-American Foundation: Immigration Journalism Fellowships.
