2012- 2014 Grants Panel

**CLICK HERE FOR GRANTS PANEL APPLICATION**

The Funding Exchange is pleased to invite nominations for our Activist-Advised Grantmaking panel.

The Funding Exchange uses a unique and distinguished approach to philanthropy, Activist-Advised Grantmaking. This approach directly involves community activists and organizers in philanthropic decision-making. We believe it is crucial to shift the power for grantmaking to the activists who spend their lives on the front lines in their communities to effect systemic change.

Grantmaking panelists have a broad range of experiences and reflect perspectives shaped by class, race, sexual orientation, and geography, which uniquely inform their decision-making. The panels also provide much-needed space for activists to develop strategic relationships and share best practices and ideas.

We welcome applicants from all over the country.  People of color, women, differently-abled persons, and members of the LGBTQI communities are encouraged to apply.  We also welcome applications from organizers working in rural communities and in regions of the country where there are currently no Funding Exchange member foundations, including Arizona, New Jersey, Washington DC, South Florida, Ohio, and Texas.
