3) Funding Exchange Announces New Guidelines for Paul Robeson

        Fund for Independent Media

 

 Deadline: May 15, 2008

 

 The Funding Exchange's ( http://www.fex.org/ ) Paul Robeson Fund  for
Independent Media supports media activism and grassroots organizing by
funding the pre-production and distribution of social  issue film and
video projects as well as the production and distribution of radio
projects made by local, state, national, or  international organizations
and individual media producers.

 

 The fund invites applications for projects of all genres that address
critical social and political issues, combine intellectual clarity with
creative use of the medium, and demonstrate  understanding of how the
production will be used for progressive  social justice organizing.

 

 The fund makes grants to radio projects in all production stages and to
film and video projects in the pre-production or distribution stages
only. The fund does not support production or post-production costs for
film and video projects. The fund does not provide support to project
budgets or projects of organizations with annual budgets of more than
$500,000.

 

 The maximum grant award is $20,000; most grants range between $5,000 to
$15,000.

guidelines and an application form.
