Rapid Response Micro-Grants

Overview:

The Frontline Media Network’s Rapid Response Micro-Grants are dedicated to supporting frontline climate and environmental justice organizations by providing up to $6,000 in multimedia storytelling support services (photo, video, written) for campaigns that urgently require visual media to engage target audiences and deepen their impact.

Grant services include working with the FMN team to identify the most impactful storytelling deliverable, production of that deliverable in collaboration with community groups, and co-creation of distribution strategy designed to reach target audiences.
