FCRA PROJECT: KEEPERS OF THE EARTH GRANT-2016!
Deadline: 30TH
OCTOBER 2016
We award grants to projects that seek to control, utilize, leverage,
retain, create, and increase the assets of Indigenous communities. Among these
assets are land, culture, language, kinship networks, subsistence activities and
personal efficacy. Projects may be geared toward the development of a
sustaining and long-lasting process to address issues such as securing rights
to ancestral lands, mitigating the effects of climate change, food security, or
preserving and renewing cultural values and traditional knowledge.. We follow
an Indigenous development model that values wholeness and balance, in which the
diverse assets of the community must be developed in synchrony.
MAKING GRANT APPLICATION ACCESSIBLE:
Our grant applications are open-format and are intended to allow
prospective grantees to propose projects in whatever manner suits them. We also
accept video applications in order to provide an alternative to inherently
confining written proposals, and to reduce our reliance on the English language
and linear proposal structures. This helps ensure that the grant proposal, and
the project itself, truly originate with and represent the worldview of the
community.
