Are you involved in a grass-roots community organizing project?
Your group could be eligible for a Freedonia grant.

Freedonia is a new 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 2008 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 2008 Granting Period must be submitted by March 14, 2008
Freedonia generally makes grants up to $5,000.  Freedonia funding is limited
to projects located within Ontario and British Colombia, 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.
