Channel Grant: Channel made a grant to the FRIDA Fund (through the fiscal sponsorship of The Tides Foundation), to support FRIDA -The Young Feminist Fund, a grantmaking body that aims to provide long-term and flexible funding for young women’s organizations as they respond to key political changes taking place locally, nationally, regionally and internationally. FRIDA launched its first call for proposals and, beginning in 2012, the Fund will support the young women’s movement, build young women’s leadership and strengthen institutions that advance young women’s rights. The Fund (along with voting input from applicants themselves) chose 18 dynamic young feminist organizations for their first round of grants. (2011)
