In this third round of the Artist + Activist Community Fund we call on everyone to focus attention on Black, Indigenous, People of Color who need support, and BIPOC led organizations who are serving BIPOC communities. That is our mandate. All Artist + Activist Community Funds will go to Black. Indigenous. People of Color.

These funds are for BIPOC National Facilitator Training (NFT) alums who are working at the intersection of arts, culture, and justice.
 
This third round of funding will provide two levels of support to BIPOC NFT alums:

- First, for BIPOC NFT alums experiencing immediate acute needs (i.e. someone who does not have access to employment, unemployment insurance/benefits, family support, other emergency fund support), this fund will support gifts of approximately $2,500 USD.

- Second, for BIPOC NFT alums who are not experiencing acute needs, but are experiencing financial hardship (i.e. you have a thin safety net that is running out), this fund will support gifts of approximately $300 - $500 USD.

- Third, if you are a NFT alum who does not need funds personally, but would like to recommend other BIPOC-led and BIPOC-serving emergency funds, organizations, or individuals addressing deep-rooted, systemic issues impacting BIPOC communities (i.e. incarceration, disability justice, criminal justice issues, anti-immigration, individuals without documentation, housing, poverty, economic disparities, and militarization, to name a few), please complete the nomination portion of the request form.

Every BIPOC NFT alum who applies will receive support. BIPOC alums who received support in Round 1 and/or Round 2 can request additional support in Round 3. We know that needs are evolving. All gifts will be mailed by Friday, July 24, 2020.

Submission deadline is Wednesday, July 1 2020, 11pm PT.
