Are you involved in a grass-roots community organizing project?

Your group could be eligible for a Freedonia grant.

Freedonia is a Canadian organization that provides small grants to
support grassroots organizing that promotes radical and democratic
social change.

Freedonia was founded in 1997 by Gary Moffatt as an expression of his
lifetime commitment to anarchism and to building social and economic
alternatives to capitalism.  In keeping with this anti-authoritarian
vision, Freedonia is a catalyst for the development of movements
promoting radical democratic and systemic change.

In our 2009 Granting Period, Freedonia invites applications for projects
which are focused on expanding grassroots, face to face participation in
social, economic and political activism through organizing, training and
community-building.

Applications for the 2009 Granting Period must be submitted by March 20,
2009

Freedonia generally makes grants up to $5,000.  Freedonia funding is
limited to projects located within Ontario and British Columbia, Canada.

Freedonia recognizes and values the diversity of our communities and our
movements. Freedonia is committed to ending all forms of discrimination
and to the realization of full social and economic equality.   In this
spirit, Freedonia takes proactive measures regarding funding applicants
from equity seeking groups.  Favourable consideration will be given to
projects that expressly and actively promote social and economic equality.
