The Progressive Technology Project’s Organizing and Technology Grants Program is Now Open!

With the generous support of our funders, we’ve reopened our Organizing and Technology Grants Program. This is our ninth grants round and some aspects remain the same, while others are changing. As before, we have $100,000 to distribute and grants will be limited to $10,000. They will still go to support technology applications for grassroots social change community organizing groups. Some changes:

* grantees will be invited to share their proposals and experiences on our web site. This way other groups can benefit from what the grantees learn or the grant recipients can get advice from organizing groups that have undertaken similar projects.
* applications will be taken on-line (if you can’t make an online application for some reason, you can send print or email versions)
* we’re using the application process to build a public database of grassroots community organizing groups around the U.S. Even groups that don’t get funded will get greater exposure for their work.

Check out the grants (<a href="http://www.progressivetech.org">http://www.progressivetech.org</a>) page to familiarize yourself with the process. Apply early. The November 28 deadline is fast approaching.
