Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice Lesbian Writers Scholarship (Visit this link)
The Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice works for social, racial and economic justice in the U.S. and internationally. Our grantmaking and philanthropic advocacy programs help lesbians and allied communities challenge oppression and claim their human rights. Underlying Astraea’s mission is an enduring commitment to feminism, progressive social change and an end to all forms of exploitation and discrimination. The Foundation supports programs that strive to eliminate oppression based on race, age, sex, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, economic exploitation, physical and mental ability, anti-Semitism, colonialism, imperialism, and other such factors. Astraea is dedicated to the belief that only through action can we build a world of peace and justice for lesbians, and for society as a whole. ABOUT ASTRAEA’S LESBIAN WRITERS FUND Astraea’s Lesbian Writers Fund was established in 1990 with the generous support of its founding donor, Joan Drury. The purpose of the fund is to support the work of emerging lesbian writers, and to acknowledge the contributions of established lesbian writers to our movement and culture. First place awardees and two runners-up in the poetry and fiction categories will receive cash awards ($10,000 for awardee; $1,500 for runners-up). Thanks to Skip’s Sappho Fund, at least one grant will be awarded to a lesbian writer who is based west of the Mississippi.
Approximate value: $ 100000
