WomensNet Newz for The Woman Entrepreneur!

After years of doing grant research - I am on quite a number of grant and foundation mailing lists, so every week we will be posting the latest grants news that we get.

Most of these grants will be for the arts, medical research, community development and other ‘not for profit’ areas. However, in many cases even a ‘for profit’ business may have aspects that would fit the parameters for the funding requirements.

Be sure to check the main WomensNet site for more grant information and other funding resources: Grants and Funding Resources for Women Owned Business

This Week’s Grant Request for Proposal (RFP):

Tony Cox Community Fund

Cable Positive’s Tony Cox Community Fund is a national grant program that encourages U.S. community-based AIDS Service Organizations and cable systems to partner in joint outreach efforts, or to produce and distribute new locally focused HIV/AIDS-related programs and public service announcements.

Cable Positive allocates $100,000 to support two grant cycles each year. Grants of up to $7,000 each are available for 501(c)(3) organizations, with special consideration given to ASO’s partnering cable systems and producers.

Eligible local community outreach projects include, but are not limited to, World AIDS Day (December 1) and National HIV Testing Day (June 27) events, AIDS rides/walks, and other joint efforts between ASOs (AIDS Service Organizations) and local cable systems. Funding is also available for the production costs of HIV/AIDS-related programs and PSAs.

Complete detailed information including application procedures, eligibility requirements, types of projects funded, and applicant criteria are on the Cable Positive Web site.
