Deadline: 11-Mar-22
The Ms. Foundation for Women is accepting proposals for Asian Women Giving Circle (AWGC) Program to build women’s collective power in the U.S. to advance equity and justice for all.
Asian Women Giving Circle (AWGC) believes culture is an essential part of any strategy for social change. They support Asian American women-led organizations and individual artists in NYC who are using arts and culture to:
- bring about progressive social transformation,
- raise awareness and catalyze action around critical issues that affect Asian American women, girls and families
Funding Information
- This year AWGC is piloting a funding strategy that awards $8,000 grants to 9-10 projects contingent on available funding.
Eligibility Criteria
- This RFP is open to both 501(c)(3) organizations and individual artists.
- Applicants can be at any stage in their careers but must have a track record of developed work that demonstrates their capacity to complete the proposed project and manage the funds requested.
- Artists and collectives that are not 501(c)(3)s must apply under a fiscal sponsor that is a 501(c)(3) organization, which they must list in the fiscal sponsorship section of the application.
- Failure to provide 501(c)(3) documentation or to provide a fiscal sponsor with the same will automatically disqualify the application.
What They Do Not Fund
- Capital or endowment campaigns
- Equipment purchases
- Support to address financial crises or shortfalls
- Purely personal works of artistic expression with little or no social justice impact
- Documentation that is primarily of cultural events
- Projects that lack a social change analysis or social justice focus
- Student productions or projects associated with a degree program and academic credit
