I want to announce this opportunity to apply for a small grant: - please
post and pass this on and think creatively about applying or encouraging
colleagues to apply!
Elizabeth Morrish Mad Money Fund:
Take on the Challenge!
Is there some small thing that you would like to do in your literacy program
to "take on the challenge" to address the impact of violence on women’s
learning? You are invited to apply for a small grant from the Elizabeth
Morrish Mad Money Fund to use creative or healing arts to make a change for
women in your program (preferably within the first six months of 2005).
This is a small one time fund - a total of $2,500. We expect to give out
several small grants to make tiny, but significant, changes in several
programs, although we would fund one excellent project if that looks the
best way to make a difference in Elizabeth’s memory. These funds are
intended for the sort of unusual creative projects or events which you could
not normally get funded to support women’s learning.
Examples of the sort of projects you might consider to take on:
• hire a potter or other artist to work with a group of women students to
explore their sense of self;
• buy art supplies for a women’s literacy group;
• buy a beautiful poster for your program;
• buy flowers regularly or for a special occasion;
• create some other form of beauty and abundance in your program;
• create an unusual display on violence and learning issues for a public
place or a conference.
To apply: Send an email to morrish@jennyhorsman.com
By November 16th
Tell us briefly: What you want to do;
How you will do it;
Why you think it will make a difference in your program;
How much it will cost;
Timeframe for the project;
Your program/class;
Your role in the program.
A volunteer committee will read all applications and select the most
interesting projects to fund.
We will be looking for projects in the spirit of Elizabeth Morrish – that
are healing, creative, unusual, things that could not be justified in
standard concepts of adult literacy education.
If you are funded you will have to submit some simple evidence of what you
did, tell us what you believe it accomplished and what leads you to believe
this. A paragraph, a photo, a tape, would be suitable evidence of what you
accomplished with the funds. This will be posted on a violence and learning
website.
