Recruitment Fund
2006 Roster of Grants
This roster includes grants from the Muste Institute’s
Counter Recruitment Fund. CR Fund grants of up to $1,500 are directed to
efforts to educate young people about the realities of military service and
civilian alternatives.
The Muste Institute also makes grants from its general
grantmaking program and administers several other special
funds, including the International Nonviolence Training
Fund and the NOVA Fund.
Fiscal sponsorships are
funds from institutional grants and individual tax-deductible donations which
the Muste Institute accepts as agent for the fiscally sponsored project or
organization.
Separate guidelines are available for CR
Fund grants,
general grants, INTF
grants and fiscal sponsorships.
