$0
Description

Thomas Jefferson observed that "the ground of liberty is won by inches." The Norman Foundation seeks to help win some of those precious inches. We support efforts that strengthen the ability of communities to determine their own economic, environmental and social well-being, and that help people control those forces that affect their lives. These efforts may:

promote economic justice and development through community organizing, coalition building and policy reform efforts;
work to prevent the disposal of toxics in communities, and to link environmental issues with economic and social justice;
link community-based economic and environmental justice organizing to national and international reform efforts.

We will consider the following in evaluating grant proposals:

Does the project arise the hopes and efforts of those whose survival, well-being and liberation are directly at stake?
Does it further ethnic, gender and other forms of equity?
Is it rooted in organized, practical undertakings?
Is it likely to achieve systemic change?

De Colores Rapid Response Fund
Peace Development Fund
Rolling / Ongoing
Nonprofits / Community-based organizations (CBOs), Educational institutions, Tribal non-government entities, Tribal governments, Local governments, State governments, Other
$1,000
$500
Description

De Colores Rapid Response Fund (RRF) has been established at PDF in honor of retired Development Officer, Ray Santiago. In his many years working in the farmworker movement, “De Colores,” a traditional Mexican folk song that celebrates nature and diversity, was and still is one of Ray’s favorite tunes. It is a great example of solidarity.

Ray recalls, “If I remember correctly, the song came to the Americas from Spain back in the 16th or 17th century. The song became very popular within the Latino community for special celebrations and occasions. It became the anthem of the United Farm Workers in California in the early 1960s. In time, it became the anthem of the larger farmworker movement, including the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) in the Midwest, Florida and Texas. We would cross arms and sing it at rallies and picket lines. It’s a very uplifting song and always brought comfort to me.”

De Colores RRF is looking to impact positive, dynamic-shifting opportunities, rather than provide emergency response for humanitarian crises or technical assistance. It is designed to make funds available for quick, short-term delivery to hot spots of opportunity for organizing in marginalized urban and rural communities.

Asterion Foundation™ provides microgrants for astronomy research and outreach projects throughout the United States. Asterion supports schools, universities, libraries, planetaria, observatories, museums and science clubs. Grants typically range between $500 and $5,000. Some awards are partial grants for lead sponsorship, matching fundraisers and finishing funds.

By their own initiative, past and present directors of the foundation have propelled special outreach programs such as the distribution of free solar eclipse glasses and the 50th Anniversary Apollo Moon Landing poster contest for students. Your organization can also apply to fund projects such as these. Do you have a project that we can help lift off?

Many of our previous grant recipients have been involved in the topic of meteoritics, such as meteorite exhibits at museums, all-night meteor camera detectors (CAMS), and paleo-astronomy through the study of microtektites in fossilized mollusks. In 2019, our directors voted to make the area of meteoritics our chief interest. However, we will gladly review other applications pertaining to astronomy research and outreach.
