The Progressive Technology Project's
Organizing and Technology Grants Program
is Now Open!

With the generous support of our funders, we've reopened our Organizing 
and Technology Grants Program. This is our ninth grants round and some 
aspects remain the same, while others are changing. As before, we have 
$100,000 to distribute and grants will be limited to $10,000. They will 
still go to support technology applications for grassroots social change 
community organizing groups. Some changes:

    * grantees will be invited to share their proposals and experiences 
on our web site. This way other groups can benefit from what the 
grantees learn or the grant recipients can get advice from organizing 
groups that have undertaken similar projects.
    * applications will be taken on-line (if you can't make an online 
application for some reason, you can send print or email versions)
    * we're using the application process to build a public database of 
grassroots community organizing groups around the U.S. Even groups that 
don't get funded will get greater exposure for their work.

Check out the grants (http://www.progressivetech.org)  page to 
familiarize yourself with the process. Apply early. The November 28 
deadline is fast approaching.
