Forecast’s Midwest Memory Grant opportunity is open to rural, Midwest communities who want to celebrate and preserve diverse stories and prioritize the inclusion of voices and experiences of BIPOC communities and support rural BIPOC and other practitioners in the rural Midwest.
Eight communities will be selected. These communities must have an existing monument or memorial project or challenge for which they need additional support to take their project to the next level.
In addition to funding for production of new monuments, grantees will receive training and support, technical assistance, and connections with other grantees.
This opportunity intends to build cross-sector collaboration in these communities to help enrich these projects.
Grant provides:
$75,000 to realize a unique monument project
$25,000 for capacity building
$10,000 to pay cultural advisors
