The Fund for Indigenous Journalists: Reporting on Missing & Murdered Women, Girls, Two-Spirit, Transgender People (MMIWG2T) directly supports Indigenous journalists’ reporting on violence that targets members of Indigenous nations, both on sovereign ground and in urban settings in the U.S. The dominant media narrative around Indigenous issues, including of Missing & Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP), is often criticized by Indigenous journalists as perpetuating stereotypes and lacking critical nuance – victimizing Indigenous people and ignoring their survivorship. Meanwhile, Indigenous people make up less than one percent of working journalists in the U.S. and have little access to major media outlets to tell their own stories to national audiences.

Starting in March 2022, applications will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis by an advisory committee comprised of distinguished Indigenous practicing journalists and editors, along with Indigenous thought leaders. The IWMF is conducting ongoing, targeted outreach to eligible journalists and Indigenous journalism groups to solicit proposals. Indigenous journalists affiliated with media outlets, as well as freelancers, are invited to apply.

In addition to monetary support, the IWMF is committed to providing editorial and pitching support to grantees.

Please read the FAQ page about the program and review our Application Guide here. Eligible journalists can apply here.

The San Francisco Arts Commission invites artists and artist teams residing in the United States to submit qualifications for artist-designed fence panels.

As part of the 11th and Natoma Park development, San Francisco Recreation and Parks (RPD) plans to install an 11-foot high, powder-coated aluminum perimeter fence, and entry gate along the 11th Street frontage of the park, which provides an opportunity for the integration of a permanent public artwork.

Artists will be responsible specifically for the design of up to 1300 square feet of panels, which will be fabricated and installed by a separate contractor paid for and managed through the RPD park project.

The public art project goals are to:

• Promote neighborhood connection, a sense of belonging, inclusivity, and play. This may include celebrating the diverse identities, values and living legacies of SOMA Pilipinas and the Leather & LGBTQ Cultural Districts.

• Provide an artwork opportunity for artists with a meaningful connection to the neighborhood.

• Engage the community through artist-led programming to help inform the development of the artwork design.

The budget for this project is $25,000, inclusive of all artist's fees, as well as associated expenses for design and consultation during fabrication and installation. (An estimated architectural credit of up to $61 per square foot will be applied to the fence artwork fabrication budget in areas where the artwork replaces the existing fence panels, with installation to be covered by the Capital Improvement Project Budget.)

Deadline to Submit Qualifications: May 1, 2024, by 11:59 PM PST
