Rising Voices is providing microgrants
to support individuals, grassroots groups, networks, and organizations
committed to helping their local communities participate more fully in
the digital online space.
If you have an idea for a project that
would help your local community use citizen media to tell their own
story, then you can apply for this funding opportunity and get support
in making that idea a reality.
Beginning with the 2013 round of
microgrant funding, Rising Voices has developed a new platform where
applicants can publicly share their ideas with the broader community.
This open process can enable greater opportunities to seek feedback and
to help facilitate connections between groups located in the same
geographic area or working around the same issue.
Rising Voices will provide up to five
microgrants in the amount of $USD 2,500-4,000 to successful applicants
that have demonstrated a strong and clear idea how to best provide
training and ongoing support to their local community members. Selected
grantee projects will join the Rising Voices community of projects and
be featured prominently across the Global Voices network.
Rising Voices seeks project proposals
that share our mission of bringing voices from new communities, as well
as underrepresented language groups to the online global conversation
through the use of participatory citizen media. The project’s primary
activities should be to provide citizen media training workshops to the
target community, as well vital ongoing support and mentoring.
Application deadline is Friday, March 1, 2013 at 23:59 GMT
