We seek partnerships that are complementary and support the grantee beyond just funding. We also aim to avoid creating additional work through our grant-making or reporting processes.
Objective
We support projects that highlight ongoing economic, political, social, racial, ethnic and environmental inequities with a systemic approach as part of the solution. Projects can be in the form of documentaries, podcasts, articles, essays, theater, music or other creative outlets.
Personal Statement
Systemic change is critical to our mission at FSC and we are committed to making sure all the projects we fund share our mission. In a short statement, please let us know what systemic change means to you.
