In light of Independence Public Media's recent Community Voices Fund grants, program officer Nuala Cabral reflects on the role of media and philanthropy in supporting movements that challenge oppressive systems without co-opting or containing them.
The Independence Public Media Foundation (IPMF) announces $2.6 million in its final round of grants for 2021, focused support for community-centered journalism, digital equity research and policy, community-led and operated radio stations, and filmmaking, with an emphasis on supporting artists from, and films about, underrepresented communities.
IPMF announced $8.9 million in grants for community-centered, BIPOC-led media organizations and projects in the Philadelphia region community that support media-making, narrative shift around violence and community safety, filmmaking, digital equity and journalism.
IPMF announced $5.5 million in grant renewals for ongoing support to organizations and projects aligned with the Foundation’s program areas.
