Reminder: Rising Voices Call for Proposals for Citizen Media Outreach Projects Due Fri. Feb. 3

[eddie avila]

Rising Voices is pleased to announce the 2012 open call for microgrant proposals, and we are currently accepting project proposals for funding up to $4,000 USD for global citizen media outreach projects.

A major part of Rising Voices' mission to support and nurture underrepresented communities so that they can begin to take full advantage of participatory digital media tools. Since 2007, these small grants provide an opportunity for individuals, grassroots groups, networks, and other organizations without significant access to larger funding to be able to pass along knowledge by teaching others in their community in the use of these tools, as well as to provide ongoing support.

Rising Voices seeks project proposals that share our mission of bringing voices from new communities, as well as underrepresented language groups to the online global conversation through the use of participatory citizen media. The project's primary activities should be to provide citizen media training workshops to the target community, as well vital ongoing support and mentoring.

If you are interested in applying for these microgrants, please see our full announcement on Rising Voices, which also contains a link to the online application form. The deadline is February 3, 2012.

Thanks,

Eddie Avila
