GUIDELINES
1. We provide funding to our humanist partners. We do not accept unsolicited proposals. Partners need to ask the Program Director what amount they are eligible for - it is usually either $300 or $600.
2. All applicants must reply to questions from the Program Director, and any HuMAN advisor, within three days. Failure to respond quickly can disqualify your partnership.
3. Before sending in your proposal, you can ask humanistmutualaid@gmail.com if your project is likely to be funded. Do not assume you will get funded just because you sent in a proposal.
4. We DO NOT fund projects that raise and slaughter animals, we do not fund pesticide, or hair cutting, basket-making, soap-making, beauty salons, fashion design, or cake-baking/cookies/confections, etc, or scented candles.
5. If your first proposal is rejected, you can re-do the proposal. If your second proposal is still unacceptable, you do not get a third chance.
6. If a proposal is accepted, funds will be delivered by a date that you are provided with.
7. DO NOT send tables or graphs. Write out all details so they can easily be cut-and-pasted.
8. Send application in the body of email or in Word doc. DO NOT send pdf or google link. Email to humanistmutualaid@gmail.com
9. Use US dollars in your budget.
10. Send proposal with correct spelling, punctuation and capitalization
11. Project reports are due 60 days after receiving funds.
