Apologies for cross posting.

I really hope you apply to this.

It is a little money but it can be a lot of fun locally.

Or help you when you need it the most.

All the best!

WEB WE WANT GRANTS

Participate in a global movement to defend, claim
and change the future of the Web.

Open Call for Small Grants applications!

The Web We Want is excited to kick off its second annual grant cycle with an open call for grant proposals! In partnership with the Association of Progressive Communications (APC), the Web We Want will award a limited number of grants for projects that support local campaign efforts to promote a free and open Web.

For our 2015 grant cycle, Web We Want is accepting grant proposals from projects that are working to bridge the divide between technical communities and traditional human rights communities. These projects may cover a wide range of activities, including technical talks; writing policy briefs about the importance of human rights standards for people involved in developing technical standards and holding a roundtable discussion; collaborative projects that promote understanding between human rights activists and technical experts; and other dialogues and events. Organisations may apply for funding up to USD $5,000.00 to develop and implement these projects. Applications will be accepted through June 15, 2015. You can apply here in 5 different languages (Arabic, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish).

If you have questions, please email brandi.williams@webfoundation.org.

10 GRANTS TO PROMOTE THE AFRICAN DECLARATION

Let's promote the African Declaration for Internet Rights and Freedoms

The Web We Want has joined a number of like-minded civil society organisations to develop an African Declaration for Internet Rights and Freedoms. This Declaration will seek to guide the development of the Internet across Africa, ensuring that human rights are respected online, and that the Web enables and empowers African citizens to meet their social and economic needs and goals. As our African Regional Coordinator Nnenna Nwakanma explores in her blog post, "Beginning a Long Walk to Internet Rights and Freedoms in Africa", we are committed to this Declaration.

That is why, in partnership with the Association of Progressive Communications (APC) the 2015 Web We Want Small Grants program has earmarked funds for 10 African projects that demonstrate an understanding of the Declaration, and simplifies it in a fun, engaging way.

As the Declaration gains traction, Web We Want aims to award grants of USD1500.00 to 10 African organisations that produce animations, songs, videos, or other original works that creatively promote the African Declaration on Internet Rights and Freedoms. Applications will be accepted through June 15, 2015.
