The mission of Planning-ness is to provide education and inspiration for the "creative thinker" community. But we don't think that all has to come from us. That's why we're starting the Planning-ness Grant - two $5000 or one $10, 000 grant for someone to do research or a project that will benefit the whole "creative thinker" community. Grant recipients will be chosen by a committee after they submit applications and the winners will be announced at Planning-ness 2013. The recipients will then have 12 months to complete the project and will have to come back and present their findings/efforts at next year's Planning-ness. To find out more, click here .
