The Agape Foundation (www.agapefdn.org) has invited Letters of Intent for the its Board of Trustees Spring 2007 grant cycle. Proposals are welcome from small California-based grassroots organizations working for non-violent social change. Agape funds organizations that are addressing the following issues: Peace, Human Rights, Environmental Protection, Economic Justice, Progressive Arts & Media, and Grassroots Organizing Support. Applicant organizations must be no more than five years old and have an annual budget under $100,000. The foundation also funds the distribution of social issue media, including films, videos, radio programs, compact discs, vinyl records, and books.

Agape has increased its maximum grant amount to $5,000 and has made other changes to the grant application process. In order to provide grantseekers with a faster response to their requests, the foundation now requires that grantseekers submit the Letter of Intent form first. Within seventy-two hours of receipt of the completed form, the staff will either decline the request or ask the grantseeker to submit a full proposal by March 1, 2007. Visit the foundation’s Web site for complete grant program information and application materials. The Deadline for Letters of Intent is January 31, 2007.
