Mo, not originally assigned with helping the launch of our Merch program, stepped up to play an active role in helping the team improving the overall process and impact of the successful launch. Mo contributed towards outreach initiatives, website design, operational hoops, and more to guarantee a smooth and high impact launch.

Community member ModYModX played a very important role in the Grants team launching the Merchandise production grant. ModYModX has been working with the merchandise team for several months to produce an initial sample, which the Grants team could use for quality testing, and assisting both the Merch and Grants team to produce the existing grant. Given the high impact expected for this grant, and months contributed to helping this come to life, the Grants team is issuing a retroactive grant to compensate the work.
