Asian Women Giving Circle RFP
AWGC, a giving circle of Asian American women pooling resources to invest in Asian women-led social change projects in New York City has announced its Request for Proposals (RFP) for 2008. The Asian Women Giving Circle's priority in 2008 will be to fund Asian American women-led projects that use the tools of culture, the arts and education to raise awareness and catalyze action around critical issues that impact Asian American communities. Its grants seek to build community and create social justice through programs and projects that combine the arts with activism, and which highlight and promote women's central role in their leadership, creation, development and management. It also seeks to fund projects that identify and address injustice within established social systems, institutions or the broader community, and that inspire and encourage members of the community to become active social change agents. The Giving Circle's Arts and Activism grants will focus on works and projects that advance gender equity in our cultural, artistic, intellectual and political spheres, and that provide a forum for broader discussions of the urgent social justice issues of our day.
