Western States Center did a quick scan of travel
resources for groups in our region who are interested
in attending the US Social Forum in Atlanta, Georgia
in June. We contacted a range of state and regional
funders, and
found the following funding available:
Funding Exchange
- Rolling deadline
To help link feminist movements and social justice
movements, The Funding Exchange, Ms. Foundation
for Women, Third Wave Foundation, the Astraea Lesbian
Foundation for Justice, and The Overbrook Foundation
are jointly providing funding for people to attend
the 2007 US Social Forum. We are actively seeking
applicants. Priority will be given to low-income
women,
women of color, young women (ages 15-30), women
with disabilities, lesbians/queer women and transgender
people. Formerly incarcerated women are also encouraged
to apply.
