Strategic Opportunity Support Fund Request for Proposals
The Akonadi Foundation is pleased to announce that as part of our mission, we have recently established the Strategic Opportunity Support (SOS) Fund. The goal of the SOS Fund is to encourage innovation in racial justice movement building.
The SOS fund will provide one-time grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 (averaging $15,000). SOS Funds are available to grant partners as well as racial justice organizations not currently funded by the Akonadi Foundation. In 2009, we will award approximately $300,000 in SOS grants.

For almost 20 years, Quinn Delaney and Wayne Jordan have supported a variety of youth organizing, youth development and civil rights organizations.
All of our work at the Akonadi Foundation is guided by our vision for a racially just society. We dream of a day when all people, including youth and adults of color, enjoy the right to self-determination.
Our recent strategic planning process helped sharpen our focus on structural racism and better define our institution's role in racial justice movement building.
