GriffinHarte Foundation invites applications for projects promoting civil discourse

The GriffinHarte Foundation works to promote conversations, research, and teaching that help us live and work together with civility. The mission of the foundation is to provide people with the support they need to learn, teach, and explore how civility works in today’s complex world.

To that end, the foundation welcomes applications from individuals, agencies, and the like that are exploring civility and the ways their efforts and research promote and contribute to our understanding of civility, civil discourses, and civil practices. Small grants will be awarded for two types of projects: 1) 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—our gender and sex, race and ethnicity, age and physical abilities, and education and economic standing; and 2) 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, genders and sex, feminisms, civility, and civic engagement efforts related to social, political, and economic justice.

Eligible applicants include individuals, agencies, and others.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the GriffinHarte Foundation website.

Deadline: December 15, 2022
