Hello again, I love the following statement:

IDEX's international advocacy work must be informed by, and stand firmly upon, the guidance of its partners.
(This is what I was trying to convey in my last e-mail about the Digital Partners work order for pins... I guess it is pins.)

I love IDEX. I think you should find out, if possible who their larger NGO partner is in Mexico.
Maybe you could just e-mailYael Falicov, Latin America Program Director at yael@idex.org and ask him to see
if a comonality of NGO partners already exists. If so, great. If not, you still meet all ten selection criteria
listed on the web site for IDEX.

Go after this one with gusto. If you have a comonality in NGO partners, have the NGO partner write a letter
on your behalf to be selected for the next grantmaking round. Also, find out when the internal deadlines are
for letters of interest or proposals. Ask when their Board meets to make a decision.
They do not accept applications, but it is perfectly OK to knock on thier door, so to speak.

Let me know what you decide and if you have had contact with IDEX in the past.

Melis
