Intercultural Microgrant Program
From Kentucky Fibers, a 2023 Intercultural Microgrant-funded workshop in Paducah.
Launched in 2023, the Intercultural Microgrant Program supports two or more individuals or organizations collaborating across distance, difference, or sector on projects that celebrate and connect Kentucky's people and places.
Alumni graduate from the RUX leadership cohort with ideas for new projects that have been co-developed with members of their RUX consultancy teams, but we’ve never had the resources to directly invest in these ideas. Thanks to support from the Pluralism and Civil Exchange program of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and the Kentucky Foundation for Women, we launched this microgrant program to invest in our alumni network to employ the skills they’ve learned in the RUX program to the benefit of their state and local communities.
Recipients receive seed funding, technical assistance, and peer support in exchange for a short creative product (video, photo, artwork, writing, or audio storytelling) that tells the story of their project.
The 2024 microgrant pool will be open to RUX alumni and members of our new RUX Membership program. Sign up for the RUX newsletter to stay in the know about the 2024 microgrant application cycle.
