The Federation of Post-Secondary Educators (FPSE) is accepting requests to access funding from the 2025 International Solidarity Fund (ISF) until Monday, March 10, 2025.
You may access the ISF Application Form and other ISF information on the FPSE website.
The ISF is designed to support long-term, ongoing projects that build partnerships between our Federation and people in the disadvantaged world.
Primarily, the fund supports solidarity partnerships as distinct from traditional charity efforts, helping community groups and organizations who are organizing themselves to advance social justice or to defend their basic human rights. The intent is also to build enduring and stable relationships, based on the conviction that solidarity is a two-way street: people organizing in the disadvantaged world or here at home can teach and inspire us in our own work for social justice. To be eligible for funding, projects must be housed in or originate from an FPSE local, or have a demonstrated, long-standing relationship with an FPSE local. Proposals should state clearly how projects meet the principles and goals set out in the ISF’s terms of reference.
Please send your application proposals to Katrina Page at ac.espf@egapk and CC Lynelle Yutani at ac.ytlucafnusomac@tnediserp
