Media Justice Grant Opportunity
The Fund for Southern Communities (fundforsouth.org), as part of the Funding Exchange’s Media Justice Fund (fex.org/mjf), seeks proposals for grants in Community Media Collaboration — projects that address media policy, infrastructure, or accountability within the context of a social justice issue or campaign and Media Justice Toolkits — popular education materials for social justice activists and the general public on media justice issues. To be eligible to apply, an organization must be working for media and/or social justice; be located and doing work in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina; and have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status or have established a relationship with a fiscal sponsor with tax-exempt status. Deadline for the grants is February 29, 2008. Grants will range from $5,000 to $10,000 each for one year.
