Funding Opportunities
In the attached spreadsheet, this research looks into eight grants and/or direct funders supporting projects such as religion/deconstructing religion, Blackness/BIPOC experiences, survivors of violence, Trans/Transgender identities, and Queerness/LGBTQ experiences. These grants and funders are open to book projects that already have a publisher and are currently available for applications. In the course of this research, we realized that additional research would yield more results.
