Rosenberg Fund for Children Grant Deadline, March 21st; Link to Application

http://www.rfc.org/application

The Rosenberg Fund for Children provides for the educational and
emotional needs of children of targeted progressive activists, and youth
who are targeted activists themselves. In most instances, professionals
and institutions directly receive the grants to provide services at no
or reduced cost to beneficiaries. Please see Granting Programs for further details.

Please carefully read the Basic Information Sheet (available at the
bottom of the page in English and Spanish) and the appropriate Grant
Applications before submitting an application.

Definitions/Limitations

lost a job, suffered physical or mental injury or disability, been harassed or
discriminated against, been imprisoned or died.

The RFC defines “progressive activities” as those taken to further any of the
following beliefs:

All people have equal worth. World peace is a necessity. People are more important
than profits. Society must function within ecologically sustainable limits.

values listed above. Subject to our financial ability, the RFC will fund
