Progressive Technology Project Accepting Applications
for Spring 2001 Grants Pool
Deadline: May 16, 2001
The Progressive Technology Project
(http://www.progressivetech.org/) works to raise the
scope
and scale of technology resources available to
grassroots
organizing groups working for environmental, economic,
and
social justice.
Through its Spring 2001 grants cycle, PTP plans on
making
15-20 grants of up to ,000 to support the use of
technology by grassroots organizing groups to advance
specific aspects of their community-organizing efforts.
Grant pool funds can be used for training, technical
support, consulting, needs assessment, planning,
hardware
and software, designing applications, and setting up
systems.
To be eligible for funding, organizations must be able
to
demonstrate that they are increasing the capacity of
people
to impact public policy and hold decision-makers
account-
able locally and at other levels of government; seek to
address the underlying causes of social, economic, and
environmental problems; engage in leadership development
with people traditionally excluded from civic decision-
making processes; be directed by and accountable to
their
members/constituents and make decisions democratically;
and work strategically to empower low-income people and
communities of color.
PTP will only accept proposals from organizations
focused
on and based in the United States. The program will not
fund organizations it has funded within the past two
years
or that primarily engage in the following activities:
scholarships/fellowships, technical service provision,
direct services, technology projects unrelated to grass-
roots social-change efforts, child-care programs,
emergency
shelters, medical services, books, publications, capital
improvement, and job training or readiness projects.
For complete guidelines and a proposal cover sheet,
