Grant History
Between 1998 and 2005, Channel's grantmaking endeavored to support the idea of grassroots leadership. In this period, Channel made grants in the interest areas described below. Channel also supported the Women's Leadership Scholarship program which ran from 2001 to 2009.
Women's Leadership Scholarship
The Women's Leadership Scholarship (WLS) program (formerly the Native Leadership Scholarship) created educational opportunities for women activists, grassroots leaders, and organizers from the Global South and/or from indigneous groups. WLS invested in women's leadership by supporting non-doctoral graduate education in human rights, sustainable development, and public health in many places around the world.
WLS granted scholarships from 2001 to 2009. The program has been closed and will not be accepting any further applications. Please see our Women's Leadership Scholarship website for more information about the program, our alumni, and other scholarship resources.
