The PatsyLu Fund for Women's Music Projects considers women in music projects from women who are composers, music educators, musicologists, performers (or in performing groups). The mission of the Fund is to seek out women's music projects from women of ethnic, cultural, and racial diversity and especially the work of lesbians. Proposals should be accompanied by supporting materials, i.e. scores and/or recordings. Recordings solely for commercial distribution will not be considered.

The Susan F. Eastman Fund for Environmental Activism, seeks projects whose principle belief is in the right to a clean, healthy, and an environmentally sustainable future. The fund invites applications from organizations committed to environmental issues and who are making change through grassroots activism. We are looking for organizations that try to empower local women by organizing at the community level holding industry and government accountable for their actions against the environment.'
