Freedonia Grant

DEADLINE EXTENDED! With all that's been going on across the country, we wanted to give folks some extra time to get their grant applications in for the 2020 funding round. With this in mind, the deadline has been extended 2 weeks and we will be accepting applications until March 13th.

The 2020 application period is now open! Freedonia is a social justice oriented grant that offers funding to movements, projects and campaigns in Ontario and BC that work to build community power and social justice infrastructure. In the past we have funded projects by OCAP Toronto, No One Is Illegal | Personne n'est illégal | Nadie es ilegal, Victoria Anarchist Bookfair, Tiny House Warriors, Gnomes for Justice & Equality, North Hastings Chapter, The Tower, Sovereign Likhts'a...misyu and more. If you are working on a project that is based on the principles of mutual aid, solidarity work and/or movement building we encourage you to apply by following the link below. PLEASE NOTE there will be no extensions this year and February 28th will be the final date for applications to be submitted https://freedonia.ca/2020-funding-round-is-now-officially-/

Our application period is open! Freedonia Grant offers funding for grassroots social and environmental justice groups and projects in Ontario and British Columbia. Applications are due on February 28th, 2019

Freedonia's submission period for 2018 is now officially open! For the 2018 Funding Round, we continue to encourage applications for anti-authoritarian projects that are focused on grassroots, face-to-face participation in social, political, and economic activism through organizing, training, and relationship-building. We want to hear from those who are fighting where they stand going door-to-door, holding public meetings, and bringing people together to discuss, plan, orga...nize, and learn. In line with this spirit, we are interested in projects that are rooted in local struggles and geared towards building and/or strengthening communities of resistance. We prioritize the funding of projects that are less likely to receive support elsewhere, and favour group over individual projects. We are less inclined to fund projects with large budgets and are likewise, less inclined to fund applications requesting staff salary pay. While we are hesitant to provide funding related to people’s salaries, we are happy to provide funding for projects that offer honorarium to unemployed, underemployed, and/or otherwise marginalized members. Looking ahead to the upcoming year, we are most excited to hear about projects that are engaged in work related to anti-colonialism, indigenous solidarity, environmental justice, anti-racism, anti-fascism, gender liberation, and the sharing of intergenerational knowledge. Our funding theme is always one of the criteria we use to rate applications. For a quick outline of all the criteria we use to rate applications, please click here. We also urge all applicants to read through Freedonia’s mission statement and application guidelines to assess your project’s compatibility with ours. If your project isn’t an exact fit with our current theme, but you believe it’s something Freedonia would be interested in funding based on our mission statement, we do encourage you to consider applying all the same. We’re looking forward to receiving your applications! http://freedonia.ca/application/howto
