We are excited to share that we have chosen the first
round of grantees for
the Knowledge Equity Fund pilot. The Equity Fund Committee selected six
grantees across the Middle East, Africa, and North and South America who
focus on issues of access, education and equity within the regions they
support.
The press release [1] mentioned further down the thread lists:
* Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ), Jordan ($250,000):
* Borealis Philanthropy’s Racial Equity in Journalism Fund, United
States ($250,000)
* Howard University School of Law and the Institute for Intellectual
Property and Social Justice (IIPSJ), United States ($260,000):
* InternetLab, Brazil ($200,000)
* Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Ghana ($150,000)
* STEM en Route to Change (SeRCH) Foundation, United States ($250,000)
so three of the six recipients - receiving $760,000 of $1,360,000; or
more than half - are in the United States.
