MadFreedom Advocates’ Peer-Operated Projects (POP) are grant-funded initiatives that enable community members across Vermont to transform their ideas for advocacy and/or community building into a reality. As small, short term funding sources, POP grants seek to empower community members with lived experience to create opportunities that otherwise would not exist. All POP Grant Awards will be reviewed and awarded on a rolling basis as applications are received. Applications are prioritized based on clear breakdowns of funding, anticipated reach of individuals in the community, and alignment to MadFreedom Advocates’ mission. MadFreedom Advocates is committed to providing administrative support to all POP grant projects.
Individual grants can range from $100 – $3,000.
