The New Economy Coalition is issuing a Request for Proposals for young people working to build the New Economy. On a rolling basis, it will be offering small grants (up to $5000) for convenings, projects and campaigns. The grants will be accompanied by support for planning and executing your project and access to NEC’s large and growing network.

Start the application process by submitting a letter of interest.

New Economy Coalition Newsletter
is as follows:

Many exciting things are happening at the New Economy Coalition! We have just hired some fantastic new talent onto our Organizing Team to build on our existing Youth and Student Network, jumpstart our Faith Communities Organizing and launch a brand new Racial and Economic Justice Initiative.

And we’re re-launching our Youth and Student grants program! Read to the end for more information about that program and how to apply.

But first, here is the NEC Organizing Team:

Along with the rest of the staff, the team is looking forward to the opportunity to work with existing NEC member organizations, to help bring new members into the Coalition, and to support people doing the work on the ground to build a new economy. Together, we hope that these programs will help to write a story about a movement led by those who bear the greatest burden at the hands of an extractive economic system—and who have the most to gain from the restorative, democratic economy growing up around us.
