Advice on Starting a Microgrant Program

After reading ~4,000 applications and awarding nearly $40,000 in grants to 26 people, I’ve decided to put it on indefinite hiatus and focus on other projects. I liked that Helium could be a service of sorts to other individuals who wanted to learn about personal grantmaking, but didn’t want to spin up their own program. They might start a grant program because they have extra money to play with, but then don’t really follow up with grantees or do anything special.
