Partnership for Positive Change Grant

Do you believe in cooperation and the sharing of knowledge?

Do you believe in the power of joint forces?

Do you want to have an impact?

 . . .  then the Partnership for Positive Change Grant is your
opportunity to bring your ideas to life!!

The Partnership for Positive Change Grant is designed to enable groups of MF members
to implement, in partnership with an appropriate and relevant outside organization,
a project or activity which is aligned with theMF's core Guiding Principle criteria.

The goal of this grant is threefold:
1. Help fulfill the MF's mandate to, through its network of fellows,"bring
positive change to the world;"

2. Create opportunities to expand activities beyond the institutional confines
of the MF by working with non-MF organizations;

3. Leverage the MF's resources for greater internal and external impact.

 The grant is generally open for any innovative ideas, executed in partnership
with like-minded institutions. Feel free to present any idea to the committee even
at very early stage of planning! Some examples include:

 * A joint conference about environmental, economic, social, or health issues;

 * Partner in a cultural art event that disseminates knowledge about the MF countries;

 * Joint activities with MF countries foreign representations, ngos, cultural
institutes or other organizations.

 The MF Grant Committee is now accepting applications for the Partnerships for
Positive Change grant.  The current application window will close 7 December 2007.
