Background Max. Grant amount: 10.000 USD
The Youth Initiative of the Open Society Foundations (OSF) requests proposals for up to $10,000 in funding to develop and curate thematic pages on a new global youth portal and community, www.youthpolicy.org. Youthpolicy.org aims to consolidate knowledge and information on youth policies across the international sector, ranging from analysis and formulation to implementation and evaluation. Curation involves both writing and producing content around a specific theme and also collecting and presenting related information and research.
We are looking for content creation and curation on specific topics from the youth policy field. Potential themes for youthpolicy.org pages include, but are not limited to:
- Participation and Citizenship
- Activism and Volunteering
- Children and Rights
- Global Drug Policy
- Community Work
- Research and Knowledge
- Informal Learning
- Environment and Sustainability
- Multiculturalism and Minorities
- Justice
Requirements for consideration
- Organizations seeking funding must be registered NGOs. Please note: grants will not be made to individuals or for-profit entities.
- Proposals should not exceed $10,000 or one year in length.
- Proposals must outline how the theme will be addressed in all its aspects, how content will be produced on a regular basis, how and how
many contributing authors and bloggers will be involved, and how users interested in the theme will be driven to and engaged at the site.
- Familiarity with WordPress and BuddyPress is an advantage. To learn more about the set-up and technical possibilities of the site, get in
touch with setup@youthpolicy.org.
- All proposals must be submitted in English.
- Please note Open Society Foundations by law does not earmark any grant funds for lobbying on any legislation (international or domestic)
as defined in the U.S. tax code.
