Sociological Initiatives Foundation provides grants of $5,000 to $15,000 to
support research and social action projects. Areas of interest include but
are not limited to social justice, social welfare, human rights, literacy,
language learning and use, dialect use and curricular issues in teaching second
languages and non-native languages. The Foundation is also interested in
supporting research by sociologists and linguists whose work may provide
practical documentation of initiatives that may be useful to communities.
