GriffinHarte Foundation invites applications for projects promoting civil discourse

The GriffinHarte Foundation aims to promote 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 (who we are), and the complex ways we are connected to other people.

Grants of up to $1,000 will be awarded in support of the following types of projects:

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 communications are influenced by our identities—our gender and sex, race and ethnicity, age and physical abilities, and education and economic standing.

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; informed by an explicit recognition of the ways identities, genders and sex, feminisms, civility, and civic engagement relate to social, political and economic justice.

Educational opportunities: Explore identity, gender, feminism, civility, civic engagement and social, political and economic justice.

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

Deadline: December 15, 2025
