Call for Grant Applications

AED Announces Next Competition for 15 Grant Awards to Support Nonprofits
and Promising New Leaders Committed to Social Justice.

Sponsored fields of work include:

*International Human Rights
*HIV/AIDS
*Migrant and Refugee Rights
*Racial Justice
*Reproductive Rights
*Women's Rights

Worth, on average, about $100,000, the two-year grants offer support for
salary, fringe benefits, financial assistance, leadership training,
mentoring, and a professional development account for a promising new
leader.  The host nonprofit organizations receives a computer to support
the work of the Fellow.  A defining feature of the program is that the
applying nonprofit and its prospective Fellow prepare the application
together as a team.

This competition we also hope to receive more applications from candidates
who are men of color.  And we are interested in applications from nonprofit
organizations in cities not previously funded by New Voices (e.g. Detroit,
St. Louis, Little Rock, Louisville, Birmingham, Chicago, Memphis,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Jackson, Minneapolis,
Richmond).  This list is not exclusive or exhaustive.

Grant applications and eligibility criteria are now available from the New
Voices web site at www.aed.org/newvoices  The deadline is January 10, 2005.
