2024 Mini Fund Grant Awardees
The North Carolina Environmental Justice Network’s grant committee received thirty-two applications for the Mini Fund grant applications! It was difficult to choose among the many compelling applications. After careful review, the Grant Committee selected nine awardees. There were many more organizations that we would have loved to support financially; we would love to build our relationship-support with them all.
We are excited to share the nine awardees with you all. We are also thrilled to support environmental justice work in its intersectional form – recognizing that “ecological violence is first and foremost a form of social violence, driven by and legitimated by social structures and discourses.” Thus, among the awardees is support for labor rights, police violence, and economic justice. We look forward to hearing from all the awardees on their work in the 2024 NCEJN Summit!
