Shaking the money tree, making the most of financial resources for international students. Presentation at the NAFSA Region X Conference by Jennifer Frankel (Envisage International) and Ruth Kamona (The City University of New York)
Where is the Money for Women’s Rights? (WITM) is a multi-year action-research initiative founded in 2004 to gain a better understanding of funding trends for women’s rights work and how best to expand the resource base for feminist movements and women’s rights organizations. The main goals of this strategic initiative are to: - Achieve a significant increase in the access to and the amount of funding to support women’s rights work, particularly of women’s organizations and movements all over the world. - Improve the effectiveness of women’s organizations to raise, absorb and use more funds to build stronger movements and advance women’s rights globally.
Following these goals and recognizing that movements and women’s rights organizations without resources cannot be sustained, the WITM initiative has worked to increase the quality and quantity of the funding available for these organizations worldwide. We firmly believe that for feminist movements to do the key work of transforming social relations of power and to contribute to the achievement of greater social equality where all rights are respected indistinctively, they need to mobilize more resources under better conditions. To understand the funding landscape for women’s organizations and movements we have produced a wide range of resources, particularly three FundHer reports that have become key references on the issue of resource mobilization for women’s rights work. The reports are available through our website www.awid.org Conscious of the increasing need for women’s rights activists to access quality and user friendly information on how to fundraise, write a grant proposal or find donors supporting different sectors and themes, AWID’s
Where is the money for women’s rights initiative has reviewed the existing online resources to produce this short document containing what we believe are interesting and good quality manuals, toolkits and guides produced by various organizations on how to mobilize and access funding. We have completed this document with four power point presentations produced by AWID. One of these summarizes the results from our 2008 report on funding trends for women’s rights organizations, which was presented during AWID’s 2008 International Forum “The Power of Movements”. A second presentation by Ellen Sprenger introduces some ideas on how feminist organizations can measure success, and the dilemmas and tensions around this.

Writing a successful grant proposal and detailed budgetMikeEly930
Writing a successful grant proposal and
detailed budget
In order for the grant selection committee to fully understand the nature of your project, and its
budgetary implications, we ask that you reference the following guide. Good luck!
Writing the Proposal:
Each submitted proposal should include the following:
1. Need Statement: Use the following questions to guide the creation of your statement of need.
• What is the need for the project? Is it a serious problem or issue, or a lack of a needed service?
• What are the facts and the sources that back up the need for your project?
• Who will benefit from the project and how? Define the audience by age, gender, location,
ethnic background, country of origin, or a combination of these factors.
Considering the answers to the above questions, you can begin to craft the statement of need.
Remember that your final statement of need will:
• describe the status quo that exists before the solution to the problem
• target a population group(s) and a geographic location
• present the solution to the problem
• describe the benefits to the target audience(s) and possibly to society at large.
2. Mission Statement: A mission statement is a philosophical statement about the student,
University, or faculty development that your project addresses. It should include:
• Why is there an immediate need for action toward your goal?
• What is the anticipation of future accomplishment?
• When fulfilled, what is the meaning for Students, the University community or your
professional development?
3. Goals: The goal is the final impact or outcome that you wish to bring about using the Dean’s
grant. It should following the S.M.A.R.T. principles for goal writing:
• (S)pecific
• (M)easurable
• (A)ttainable
• (R)ealistic
• (T)ime-bound.
Writing the Detailed Budget:
The detailed budget for your proposal should be clear, well organized and easy to understand. Consider
using a spreadsheet with outlined columns and heading that outline:
• Budget Category
• Requested Funds
• Outside Contributions
• Project Total
Direct Costs
Direct costs for your grant are perhaps the most important component in your grant’s budget. They
represent the funds you are seeking from the funding source. The costs described below are considered
direct costs:
Personnel: Show the breakdown of hours and weeks. Such as: $10.00 per hour X 40 hours per week X
52 weeks = $20,800.
Travel: Make sure to provide clear formulas and documentation for why travel is necessary. Include the
cost for a plane ticket, the cost of a hotel per night and the number of nights you will be staying, and a
food allowance. Be sure and use realistic but conservative figures and avoid using round numbers, such
as use $1,280 instead of $1,000.
Equipment: To help understand equipment costs, documentation of the program need for the
equipment. Equipment costs shoul ...
Why do you want to fund your research idea?
Does your research idea deserve to be funded? If yes, do you really need money? Have you considered in-king resources?

Beyond Land Acknowledgements: Real Collaboration with Tribes & Tribal LeadersWest Muse
Tribal land acknowledgments are rapidly growing in popularity among institutions and organizations, taking the form of opening statements in meetings and conferences, signage, or website messages. One might ask why land acknowledgments are being made in a growing number of settings, including the museum. Acknowledgment is a simple, powerful way of showing respect and is intended as a step toward correcting the practices that erase or freeze Indigenous people’s history and culture while inviting and honoring the truth. However, the land acknowledgment is also at risk of ending where it began, perhaps well-conceived and received, but merely a symbolic gesture with little to no follow-through of engagement and real change. While land acknowledgements are well-meaning, they are no substitute for substantive and ongoing tribal relationships and understandings of tribal land claims.

It is imperative that fundraisers plan thoughtfully for this transfer of wealth because great opportunity exists to secure planned gifts. While many nonprofits focus on immediate funding needs, museums are in a unique position, responsible for long-term institutional preservation and collections care. It is not only prudent but necessary to develop sustainable revenue.
Planned Giving Opportunities with the Upcoming Transfer of Wealth (Pt. 1/2)West Muse
Studies show that $9 trillion in assets will be passed in the U.S. from Baby Boomers to Gen X and millennials by 2027. It is imperative that fundraisers plan thoughtfully for this transfer of wealth because great opportunity exists to secure planned gifts. While many nonprofits focus on immediate funding needs, museums are in a unique position, responsible for long-term institutional preservation and collections care. It is not only prudent but necessary to develop sustainable revenue.
Boards are responsible for the fiscal health of the nonprofit organizations they serve. Not only must they give, but it is essential that they take part in fund development. Many volunteers are uncomfortable in this role. This session will equip staff with tools to train board members about the fundraising cycle and how they can be involved in different phases based on their comfort levels. It will include tips on face to face solicitations.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

– owns or uses tangible objects, either animate or inanimate;
– cares for these objects; and
