Our sweet spot client at Creative One is any organization, company or individual who is an instigator for positive change as we build a new and better place to live in this third rock from the sun called Earth.

In this blog post, we are just the messenger, passing on a tip about available funding. Kosmos Journal recently announced its second year of the Kosmos Seed Grant initiative. Two Kosmos Seed Grants of $2,500 each will be awarded in Spring 2016 to individuals or organizations working to advance social change, specifically by encouraging and enabling civic engagement.

The theme, ‘Igniting Civic Engagement’, is intended to encourage inclusive participation in the communities served by applicant organizations. Kosmos defines civic engagement as ‘individual and collective actions designed to identify and address issues of public concern.’

They want to know: How will community voices and perspectives be represented in your initiative? How will you bring people together to ignite action?

Any (501-C-3) non-profit organization, registered in the US, working anywhere in the world toward social change may apply. Individuals may apply through an accredited US nonprofit.

Projects should have a stated duration, with clear objectives and expected outcomes., and applicants should describe a clear and direct use of the funds and the impact it will have.

Proposals will be in the form of brief essays. The most compelling proposals will be those that set forth a sound plan with a strong potential for success. The deadline for submission is February 14, 2016 and awards will be announced in early March.
