What We Do
Game Changer Grants: $3,000 per month
The submission period for our Game Changer Grants is CLOSED. The submissions we receive during this period will represent Game Changer Awardees for January - June of 2020. We will be making awardee announcements during the third week of each month on our website, Facebook and Twitter page. We will be holding another submission period beginning February 17th - March 11th.
Our monthly Game Changer Grants are intended to provide opportunities for small or start-up programs or initiatives that are aligned with the mission and vision of FCI. We will award one grant up to $3,000 each month throughout 2019. We will announce the awardee here during the third week of every month of 2020. You can also visit our News feed, Facebook or Twitter pages for up to date announcements.
We know that for many grants, applicants are put through a pretty arduous process. Not so here. Rather than answering a laundry list of questions and taking time away from the work for which you are requesting funding, we are taking a different track. A simpler track. Plain and simple, we want you to tell your story, share your plans and have some fun doing it . . . without spending too much time and energy!
There are just two parts to the application process:
1. The video. Applicants are asked to submit a short (3-5 minute), cell-phone quality video. We do not want applicants to chase down state-of-the-art technology or to pay for access. You have important work to do. We want you to keep on doing what you do best . . . that is, working to reduce racial inequities. NOTE: To see how each submission is evaluated, click here.
2. The Short Form. And, we do mean short! It should take you no more than 15 minutes to complete this form. We are only asking for the basics . . . and, we do mean basics. Name, contact information and basic program information will do. (Click here for the short form)
