Tides Foundation Accepting Applications for State Strategies
        Segment of the Death Penalty Mobilization Fund
       
Deadline: August 15, 2008

The Tides Death Penalty Mobilization Fund is a Tides Foundation
( http://www.tidesfoundation.org/ ) funding collaborative that
supports strategic collaborations of local, regional, or national
nonprofits working to abolish the death penalty at the state
and/or federal levels. Projects supported by the fund may also
focus on intermediate steps such as specific reforms to the death
penalty system, moratoria on executions, or study commissions.

The upcoming State Strategies segment of the Death Penalty Mobil-
ization Fund will provide two-year grants ranging from $40,000 to
$80,000 each year (for a maximum of $160,000 over two years) to
state-based activist organizations working on death penalty re-
form, abolition, or moratoria efforts in the United States.
Grants can be used for expansion or enhancement of organizational
and/or staff capacity, campaign development or implementation,
infrastructure development necessary to implement or expand cam-
paigns, public education, and direct and grassroots lobbying.
Priority will be given to states where a State Strategies grant
will make a significant contribution towards securing a concrete
victory or strategic outcome. The fund also encourages collabor-
ative applications focusing on a specific region.

The foundation anticipates making grants to approximately eight
organizations in this cycle. (The next funding cycle will take
place in Fall 2009.)
