This is a really cool program that you're starting here!
I have a bit more than 1500 SP right now, with about 300 or so delegated, so I'm not really eligible for this, but there are some other good steemians that could really benefit from this.
I think I have about 130 shares of SBI now, and I think I bought about 3/4s or so of that, and obviously helped a few people along the way, so I'm pretty satisfied with that program also.  I'm trying to decide who to give the next chunk of SBI to, I tend to do it 5SP at a time, to the same account rather than just 1 or 2 per person.  I figure that 1 or 2 shares is basically a dust vote so I tend to sponsor more shares to a person at a time so that the SBI vote actually makes a difference.

Hi @tcpolymath, I'd like to apply for this support program. 
I am a regular poster of high quality content on a wide range of topics. These include internet censorship, technical, legal and economic aspects of cryptocurrencies, Israel, military affairs and travel.

I've been on Steemit less than 6 months and have been a very active participant with almost 70 posts and 375 comments. All my curation has been manual and I have supported a range of projects including Australian and South African farmers.

I'd like you to consider my community project as the [Class Action against Facebook & Google](https://www.jpbliberty.com/crypto-ad-ban-case)  for censoring the Crypto Community (by their draconian ban on all crypto related ads). 

I am arranging this legal action via my company [JPB Liberty Pty Ltd](https://www.jpbliberty.com/) to defend the Crypto Community from an unjustified and unfair attack by the Tech Giants. This issue has now become even more acute as censorship of all alternative opinions (both Right and Left) becomes more and more prevalent and our online freedom is at real risk

My SP is ~15% below the 1000 level at the moment but I'm prepared to invest to bring it up to 1000 to be eligible.

I guess I will take a long shot and nominate myself. Recently, I took advantage of the lower Steem price to invest into my account, bringing me to the target range of what you are looking for. Earlier in the year, I had also done a similar amount. So, I guess that also addresses the sticking around for the long term criteria. Much of my Steem power is delegated out, some to support projects that I think are good and important for the future community growth on Steemit, and some more self centred delegations to help grow my own account. 

Community orientated posting. I will try to address this, but if I miss the mark, I can clarify in a reply. 

I post mostly about various topics that strike my fancy, and I do my best to engage with people who do me the honour of dropping by and reading my posts. As much as time allows, I try to be present and engaged in the Discord scene and visiting other people's posts, although at times it can be tricky with kids and work... 

Although I am a Classical musician, I don't post many performances, professional hazard... But I do write music posts and posts that hopefully introduce people to classical music. Also, as the owner of the @classical-radio account, I do my best to try and grow and promote the Classical Music community that was begun by @remlaps at @classical-music.

Hello, I want to join, do you have a discord server ? But the thing that I'm delegating all my power to @dcooperation and I'm curating people from that account, we have now more than 2500 steem power. I want to learn more about your system, I'm cready to cooperate. You can also participate in an interview and we can talk about that and I will promote your system because I like it. ☺

Hi Tim!

I found your post thanks to the heads up from @joelsegovia and GINAbot! I'm running @dropahead and its community curation project so I'm applying on behalf of @dropahead, hoping that you bet for it.

OK! I see you are looking to support a community oriented account with a long term strategy. That sounds a lot like @dropahead's! In regards of community, our purpose is to support undervalued quality content, with special focus on small accounts (mainly plankton & minnows, a few dolphins). [We managed to cast 16,000 votes](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=dropahead) for that purpose in our first year! In regards of growing the account, we reinvest all revenue on STEEM POWER, so you'll find a lot of power-ups in @dropahead's wallet. We must keep growing the account by design! Something you didn't ask for (but I think worth mention) is that we are very transparent on [how we use @dropahead's assets](/@dropahead/releasing-the-power-of-dropahead-s-rewards-pool-drp). All of the above are very easy to verify, you only have to check wall and wallet. 

Thanks in advance for your time and for considering this application.

P.S: I don't know how flexible your parameters are because @dropahead has 1540 SP right now, hope it can still fit.

That's nice. We all want Steemit grows

Hello @tcpolymath. First a shoutout to @simplymike for resteeming your post and bringing it to my attention.

I'm currently at 970 SP with 24 SP incoming. I should cross 1000 SP in less than 2 weeks. Most of that is delegated but I always lease SP to cover that so my upvote has some worth. With the lease (which I have to renew today) it's currently at 1564 SP. 

As for being community oriented...I've been delegating 200 SP to @accelerator (a community bot) for the last 2-3 months. I've decreased that to 30 SP a few days ago.

I have 50 SP delegated to @cleanplanet (a cleaning initiative that rewards cleaning garbage) and 400 SP to @actifit that rewards people for physical activity.

Most of my upvotes go to posters on @steemhunt. A lot of voting is required on steemhunt to have a good Hunt score upon which the @steemhunt account upvotes. @steemhunt has the potential to become one of the most recognizable Steem apps outside Steemit.

I do support some smaller accounts (@svarozich) and a couple of accounts similar (a little smaller) in size to me. I would support more with your delegation - is that what your program is offering  or is your support in the form of upvotes?

I don't know if that qualifies me in terms of community support.

But I can tell you for sure I'm in Steem for the long run and want to grow my account with dreams of 100$ per Steem. But even then I will probably stay if I can generate enough monthly income with my account at those price ranges.

WooHoo! Hello there TC Polymath,

As you know I’ve been waiting for you to open this segment up since the last application I had too much SP to apply. 

I was fortunate to have caught the eye of Taskmaster when I started and was in the 500 SP mentorship program and graduated with hreat success with the help of @preparedwombat. 

After that program @underground and @eonwarped have guided me heavily and become my dear friends as I make my way through heavy involvement in many initiatives. Some are @thesteemengine, @helpie, @earthtribe, @minnowbootcamp, @steembasicincome, @freewritehouse, @teamgood, @thealliance and through much of my delegations amd support I try to encourage planktons amd minnows with heavy mentoring.

Much of my curations are done manually and upvotes are given steadily. Recently, I was fortunate to ontain a 1k delegation from @whatsup for 30 days. With that delegation I put it to work by ensuring many received high upvotes during a very low steem downturn.

My goal is never cash out and stay on this platform, I truly believe in it and will always look for ways to help others along the way as others have helped me. 

This platform has helped me grow in so many ways: writing, communication, sticking with something I believe in and helping others. I cannot say good enough things about many people who are just good and honest folks on steemit. 

It may be that you have chosen your people already, but my hope is that you would consider me as well. I’m a high content contributor as well as moderate a few groups and help others. My newest initiative will be to help the You Are Hope initiative with Engine Witty and this delegation would help many orphanages and abused animals. 

That said, I know you’ve checked out my account and know who I am, so hopefully you’ve seen I’m good for a delegation to help others and not myself. 

Respectfully submitted,

Eagle Spirit

PS. looks like i’m still too high in SP😭

> since I'm basically handing out money here I feel no obligation to be fair in my choices.

LOL...Literally laughed out. I just love how blunt and honest you are with yourself, well, and the community. It is very exciting to see our community grow every other week. Looking forward to seeing the kind of quality you dig up with this post. <3 <3

Good Luck Everyone!

@tcpolymath it's a fabulous move from your side. Very much helpful.

Hey @tcpolymath, thanks so much for directing me here! I am not the best about talking about myself so I will start with the things I’m passionate about. 

I personally feel curation and the building of communities is vital for the future of Steemit.  I have done my best to help with these things through my work with Curie, helpie and a new all encompassing curation effort called @c-squared that I started with 3 other passionate curators and friends. Our goal is to be a place for all curation efforts to come together to be able to lift that quality content and content creators as much as we can. 

I feel the turning point of Steem will be when creators and investors come together, seeing as we have the same goals. Even though I’m just a minnow I see possible success in that merging and am working in my own way to help make it happen. 

As far as my content, I’m one of those authors that doesn’t really have a niche. I write about lifestyle, opinion pieces, curation, life and also trying to share my random knowledge through tutorials (which I am very overdue for one actually.) But in all of my randomness I try to make sure that what I put out on the platform adds value in one way or another. Whether that be through engagement, information or possibly just making one person feel that they are not alone in this journey. 

I’m also a complete dork who is way too passionate for her own good 😜

Thanks for your time and for this initiative.

Justine

Thanks so much @tcpolymath. I am @matthewthonyit here on steemit and I am a farmer who loves to explore wisdom and ideas about animals, farming,  gardening,  lifestyle, and so on.  I would love to apply for the SP delegation to help people on steemit platform. Not only that, to bring about more active connection between steemit members who love writing for fun and posting for the growth and development of steemit community. 
I have been looking for a great privilege like this, now its here. 
I have some community at hand which are @genesisproject, airhawk-project, steemhive and many community surrounding me.  Thank you so much. I'm so proud to be a steemian, I love steemit. Thanks to @tcpolymath  and your team members. Great work.

Hey, I'd love to nominate myself for this initiative. I recently just tipped over the 1100 SP mark.

I'm very much community minded in the Steemit world and have participated in a number of community events. I've donated prizes and my time to a number of competitions, recently ran my own little delegation contest where I delegated 300 SP to @cyclefeed for a few weeks, and actively work to grow my account and learn about this fascinating crypto world of ours. 

I haven't been highly active on the posting front for a couple of weeks due to some real life problems that I am working hard to fix (I'm selling my business and trying to get back into full time work). 

Once the real life stuff have been dealt with I'll be back on Steemit in full force, and posting daily once again. I have some posts lined up that I'm looking forward to getting out there, including my involvement in Steem Monsters, some educational stuff about POS coins, and many other things.

Anyway, my long term goals with Steemit are huge. I plan on growing my account to a point where I can support myself from my income here and via my other crypto holdings, and I plan on telling people about how I achieved all of this.

To date, my crypto holdings are solely from my Steemit earnings, which to me is pretty amazing. And that's why I love this platform so much.

Let me keep watching for Level one 'intakes'.Kudos for the awesome task @tcpolymath

I'm not qualified for this, but nice initiative.
