Latinx artists and
organizations of all disciplines based in the U.S. and Puerto Rico may apply
for $10,000 grant awards.The
NALAC Fund for the Arts (NFA) includes the NFA Adán Medrano Legacy Award in
Film, a $10,000 award for one emerging Latinx filmmaker.
For over 15 years the NALAC Fund for the Arts (NFA) has been the
only national grant program of its kind, exclusively providing grants to Latinx
artists and arts organizations. In 2020 and 2021 NALAC’s grantmaking focus
shifted to create Actos de Confianza, a
COVID-19 relief effort which provided over a million dollars in need-based
funding to impacted artists and organizations.
This year marks the
return of the NALAC Fund for the Arts (NFA), with a renewed focus on supporting
Latinx artists and organizations through project-based grant
awards.
“Through our Actos de Confianza relief program, which we ran in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, we aligned our support with
the resilience of our field, providing hundreds of artists with emergency
relief grants. Throughout the pandemic, we all experienced loss, challenge, and
uncertainty around the future of the arts. During this time, we persevered and
created, and the art created by our field has inspired the world and supported
collective healing in countless ways,” said Jackelin Treviño, NALAC Grants
Manager. “As we relaunch the NALAC Fund for the Arts, providing more funding to
the field than ever before, we are honored to support Latinx creators as they
get back to doing what they do best- making art and building community.”
T
he Flamboyan Artist Fellowship, in
partnership with NALAC, will provide grants in support of Puerto-Rican artists,
recognizing excellence in individual artists’ body of work and nurturing
creative and professional development. All applicants that live or
work in Puerto Rico will be eligible for the Flamboyan Artist Fellowship award.
To date the three-year partnership with the Flamboyan Foundation has
awarded $200,000 to 45 artists living and residing in Puerto Rico that are
creating new cultural and creative works on the island.
Interested applicants are encouraged to register for a NALAC
Fund for the Arts (NFA) support webinar. Support webinars will be held for both
individual artists and organizations. Additional support opportunities are
available on theNALAC website.

Greetings--
I hope
this email finds you well!
In
my capacity as an Advisory Board Member representing the NAACP, I am reaching out to share with you the Environmental
Justice Data Fund’s request for proposals in case you or someone you know
might be interested in applying.
The Environmental Justice Data Fund is an $8
million fund, created and seeded by Google.org, that
aims to bolster data efforts of frontline communities – communities
historically underserved and disproportionately impacted by climate change
and environmental injustice – in the United States.
·Grants from the Fund will support projects
that use data to unlock resources, increase grantees’ access to Justice40benefits and federal infrastructure funding, and
advocate for new policies that empower communities to address past
environmental harm and pave the way to a more sustainable,
climate-resilient future.
·The Fund will consider a broad range of approaches on the
use of data to advocate for environmental justice at the local and regional
level. It will provide organizations with flexible project funding to
increase their organizational capacity to incorporate quality data work
into their environmental impact programming.
·The Fund anticipates that it will make
one-time grants to approximately 60 to 100 organizations in 2022 through an
open request for proposals (RFP), which will run on a rolling basis from
April through September.
