2023 Micrograntees
In its inaugural year, the Intercultural Microgrant Program supported two or more individuals or organizations collaborating across distance, difference, or sector on projects that celebrated & connected 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 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 received 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.
