Application Preparation

Reviewing all of the information before you start your application will help you make the best submission possible.  Before beginning your application or submitting any information we recommend: 

  • Reading all of the guidance from the IAS: including this FAQ page, the “How to Apply for a Grant” slideshow here, and the Handout on How to Apply for an IAS Grant found here.  These materials explain the questions in the application, and provide an outline of what information will be requested, including the detailed budget information, and max character limits for each written section 
  • Preparing all the required information and materials in advance. You will need to: succinctly summarize your project, audience, and outreach plan; provide links to your previous video work; and also provide a budget, and timeline for completion

 

Total Amount Available, Budget, Use of Projects

  • $5,000.00 is available in total. We would like to award several grants in the $500-$2,000 range, prioritizing smaller proposals so that we can fund multiple projects.  Amounts should specifically reflect costs in the project.
  • A budget is requested as part of the application. Successful applications will include the following: total amount required for completion, a detailed breakdown of needs and amounts (personal expenses like childcare and food are welcome), support expected or already funded from other sources, and any in-kind donations you anticipate or have already secured. Please include only one item per line for readability. 
  • Material funded by this grant will be perpetually available for the IAS to host, share, and excerpt at will, while being credited to the creators, who are also free to use and share it at will.

  • Embodied oppressions 
  • Practices and cultures of care as forms of resistance

— especially by creators who are:
