John,

Today the Campaign for Southern Equality is honored to announce a new grassroots grant round in partnership with the LGBTQ Fund of Mississippi. This grant round, totaling $20,000, will be disbursed to grassroots projects and organizations geared toward supporting LGBTQ people who live in Mississippi. 

Organizations and groups in Mississippi are now invited to apply for grants of up to $2,500. Your project can be focused on anything that improves the lives of LGBTQ people in Mississippi,  including direct action, resilience and healing efforts, direct services, artistic endeavors, and more.

Click here to learn more – and please spread the word to folks who may be eligible doing great work in Mississippi.

Here are the requirements for this grant round:

• Your project or organization must be based in Mississippi.
• These grants will support LGBTQ-focused projects or organizations, not individual applicants.
• Groups are not required to be a 501(c)3 or have a fiscal sponsor in order to receive funding, but we do require that all grantees adhere to 501(c)(3) requirements for funded work.
• We strongly encourage applications for projects led directly by transgender people, BIPOC individuals, and people in rural areas.

Thank you,
