Hi there! please have a look here: Beginning on January 11th, 2011, Rising Voices is launching the latest round of microgrant funding and is now accepting project proposals from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or individuals for funding of up to $4,000 USD for digital media outreach projects around the world. Ideal applicants will present innovative and detailed proposals to teach citizen media techniques to underrepresented communities that are poorly positioned to discover and take advantage of tools like blogging, video-blogging, or podcasting on their own.
Who is Eligible to Apply http://rising.globalvoicesonline.org/blog/2011/01/11/rising-voices-seeks-micro-grant-proposals-for-citizen-media-outreach-2011/ http://ar.globalvoicesonline.org/2011/01/14/8386/ (in Arabic) This funding opportunity is open to both NGOs and private individuals. However, if an NGO does not have experienced citizen media trainers on their staff, it is extremely important that they seek collaboration with the local blogging community to find the right trainer(s) with the necessary skills. On the other hand, it would also be highly beneficial for individual applicants to partner with an existing NGO from the communities they plan to serve in order to strengthen the project's impact. What Kind of Projects May be Funded Examples of potential projects include: * Distributing flip video cameras to local residents to help map and document environmental issues affecting the area and to propose solutions. * Partnering with a local library with a computer lab to train youth how to record and document the history of their local neighborhood by using mp3 recorders to interview local elders. * Organizing blogging workshop for local artisans to help them market their work online, but also tell the story and history of their handicrafts. * Distributing $10 digital cameras to two different groups in different neighborhoods and create a Flickr group where they interact with each other's photographic perspectives of their city.
