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
