Funding Exchange Announces New Guidelines for Paul Robeson
Fund for Independent Media

Deadline: May 15, 2008

The Funding Exchange's ( http://www.fex.org/ ) Paul Robeson Fund
for Independent Media supports media activism and grassroots org-
anizing by funding the pre-production and distribution of social
issue film and video projects as well as the production and dis-
tribution of radio projects made by local, state, national, or
international organizations and individual media producers.

The fund invites applications for projects of all genres that
address critical social and political issues, combine intellec-
tual clarity with creative use of the medium, and demonstrate
understanding of how the production will be used for progressive
social justice organizing.

The fund makes grants to radio projects in all production stages
and to film and video projects in the pre-production or distri-
bution stages only. The fund does not support production or
post-production costs for film and video projects. The fund does
not provide support to project budgets or projects of organiza-
tions with annual budgets of more than $500,000.

The maximum grant award is $20,000; most grants range between
$5,000 to $15,000.

See the Funding Exchange Web site to download complete program
guidelines and an application form.
