The projects I did back in January also partially funded pure votes. You can see where funding sources are located in this post. It seems like this is something that you're attempting to do. Good luck. It might take time to do it all. So it's best to have a few months before even conducting the events.

Yes! This is exactly what I'm planning on doing! your Hive awareness event looks amazing! and very inspiring. I'm already starting to seed my funding account (@hivefunded) with the rewards from this post to start getting a small pool of money going. The first version should be relatively simple and I can add things as I learn and the event grows.
