5) Alston/Bannerman Fellowships Provide Sabbaticals to
Organizers of Color
Deadline: December 1, 2004
The Alston/Bannerman Fellowships ( http://alstonbannerman.org/ )
are annually awarded to ten organizers of color who have
devoted their lives to helping their communities organize
for racial, social, economic, and environmental justice.
Fellows receive $15,000 to take sabbaticals of three
months or more for reflection and renewal. Fellows may
use their sabbaticals in whatever way they think will
best re-energize them for future work.
To qualify for a fellowship, applicants must be a person
of color; have more than ten years of community organizing
experience; be committed to continuing to work for social
change; and live in the United States or its territories.
While most fellows have been paid organizers, an appli-
cant's work can be as a volunteer organizer or leader,
or involve a mix of paid and unpaid work.
Beyond the basic eligibility criteria, the program seeks
applicants whose work attacks root causes of injustice
by organizing those affected to take collective action;
challenges the systems that perpetrate injustice and
effects institutional change; builds their community's
capacity for self-determination and develops grassroots
leadership; acknowledges the cultural values of the
community; creates accountable participatory structures
in which community members have decision-making power;
and contributes to building a movement for social change
by making connections between issues, developing alliances
with other constituencies, and collaborating with other
organizations.
For complete program information and application
procedures, see the Alston/Bannerman Fellowship Web site.
