GriffinHarte Foundation Invites Applications for Projects Promoting Civil Discourse

The GriffinHarte Foundation promotes civil conversations about issues that divide us and are often contentious and difficult to sort through. These issues usually involve questions of fairness, equity, respect, identity, and the complex ways we are connected to other people.

Because the foundation believes that communication is one of the key elements to understanding and working with our differences, it supports and promote conversations, research, and scholarship that are grounded in questions and practices of civility and feminism; informed by a desire to define, explore, and advocate for social, political, and economic justice in our professional and personal lives; and centered in an explicit recognition of the ways our lives and communication are influenced by our identities — gender and sex, race and ethnicity, age and physical abilities, and education and economic standing.

In addition, the foundation supports and promotes educational practices and research that are focused on how we teach as well as what we teach; grounded in a commitment to alternative pedagogies and educational practices; and informed by an explicit recognition of the ways identities, gender and sex, civility, and civic engagement relate to social, political, and economic justice.

Grant amounts will range between $100 to $1,000.
