Hi everyone,
We are announcing the opening of Movement Strategy Rapid Grants [1]. The
grants are intended to support organizations and project communities in
organizing local, regional or thematic discussions on Movement Strategy.
The purpose of the grant is to encourage community participation, provide
the necessary online tools and software, enable facilitation and
documentation for the discussions, and share translated information. Rapid
Grants can support your event plans with a budget up to 2,000 USD, with no
minimum requirement. We are accepting grants between October 26 and
November 12.
In our global discussions, we often have more participation from
established affiliates and online project communities, and in general from
those who are relatively financially secure to take the time to organize
and participate in events. We hope that this grant program will enable and
support a wider range of organizations and communities to take part in
strategy discussions.
