2012 Activist-Advised Grants

   _Funding Exchange is pleased to announce our most recent activist-advised
   grants,_ totaling $108,500 and supporting progressive organizing in
   communities across the country.

   Many of you are long-term supporters of FEX’s _Saguaro Fund_, _OUT Fund _and
   _Paul Robeson Fund for Independent Media_. Our strategic new grantmaking
   approach unites these funds into one process and carries on the tradition of
   each of these funds (along with our latest activist-advised fund,
   _The_ _Social Justice Fund_). Today's grantees must meet the original criteria
   of the Saguaro, OUT and Robeson funds; and at the same time they are working
   outside the geography of current FEX member foundations (_Bold Frontiers_),
   or partnering across issue or geography (_Social Justice Collaboration_).

   To maximize our impact, our 2012 grantmaking program makes a firm commitment
   to supporting social justice work in more places and to support and fund
   work that connects different movements for justice.

   _We are pleased to feature three grantees to provide you with insight into
   the possibilities for change.  To see more detailed descriptions of all
   thirteen grants, visit [6]www.fex.org/grantmaking/who-we-support_

   The Urban EpiCenter is an African-American-led grassroots organization that
   organizes and develops cross-cultural leadership throughout economically
   disadvantaged communities in middle Tennessee. Founded in 2007, Urban
   EpiCenter focuses on people not affiliated with the three traditional
   centers of power within the African-American community – Historically Black
   Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), the Black church or historic civil rights
   institutions.

   With this grant, Urban EpiCenter will bring together people to organize for
   living wage jobs, health care, public education, and against racial
   profiling. They are currently organizing parents and community members to
   reform punitive school discipline policies that push young men of color
   (particularly those with disabilities and social-emotional difficulties) out
   of public schools and into the juvenile prison system.

   This grant will fund collaborative work for deeper collective understanding
   of the connections between LGBTQ issues and racial and economic justice.
   Through their work together, the collaboration partners will share resources
   (both human and economic), ideas, and practices while building leadership of
   low-income people of color. Through leadership development and direct action
   community organizing, they will mobilize across sectors to reduce
   harassment/targeting of people of color and transgender communities by
   police.

   If you've made a contribution to support these grants, _thank you_! Your
   donation is going to work for justice across the country. Learn more about
