The fellowship award provides individuals with a grant of $100,000 to support production of an innovative racial justice project over the course of 18 months.<\/p>\n<p>We seek a diverse cohort of applicants, including activists, artists, journalists, and organizers, to produce projects with meaningful impact. This approach recognizes the power of individuals to use a variety of tools, from traditional advocacy to the arts, to impact change and uplift the mission and values of an open society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field field-name-field-eligibility-criteria field-type-text-long field-label-above\">\n<div class=\"field-label\">Eligibility Criteria<\/div>\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item even\">\n<p>We are looking to fund projects that align with the U.S Programs\u2019 Equality team\u2019s approach to racial justice.
