The Genographic Legacy Fund (fwd)

[phil cash cash]

The Genographic Legacy Fund aims to empower indigenous and traditional peoples
on a local level while helping to raise awareness on a global level of the
challenges and pressures facing these communities. Support from the fund will
be directed primarily toward education initiatives, cultural conservation, and
linguistic preservation and revitalization efforts. Applicants must provide a
record of current or prior work in support of indigenous education programs
and/or cultural or linguistic conservation efforts. The majority of the group
responsible for project governance must be members of the indigenous community
in which the project will be implemented. Projects are divided into two
categories: 1) smaller, discrete projects that typically require amounts up to
$25,000 and 2) more complex projects undertaken in conjunction with other
entities, such as NGOs, local education institutions, or government agencies
that require up to $100,000.

DEADLINES: June 15 and December 15, 2008
