Best Sources for minority grants and fellowships & funding

Do one here has any information relevaant to this question? NOo information asbout black grants and fellowships, and other financial aid for artists and writers?

Squinney, do you have any input about black grants and scholarships that would help me.

Ala.org is the only organization that comes to mind. Are there any others I should contact?

Seroiusly, no one knows of any organizations to assist Blacks and minority comic book creators/writers/artists?

The only source for minority grants/awards/funding I've found was the Coretta Scott king Award and the John Steptoe Award for new talent. DOes anyone else have any further input?

I had to pay $12 to get access to this page so I don't know if y'all will be able to view it but it might be of some assistance if it does work. Lots of information http://www.usagg.org/page/page/1241748.htm

I don't think you should have had to pay to view this listing of US Government agencies.

Twelve dollars isn't a great deal of money, but this information is free if you know where to look.

For those in New York City:

Grants & Foundations Library
79 Fifth Avenue & 16 Street, 8th Floor
Between 15 & 16 Streets
(212) 620-4230

You can find grants for men, women, young, old, special categories, and more. They also have a category for people who live in another state, but of course you have to qualify under certain conditions.

What if you live in upsate NY or Long Island?

Check your library they might be able to give you some information or at least where to go to get it.

I'll contact the Grants and Foundation Library first to see if they have any input.

Does the Grants and Foundation Library have an e-mail address?

The Foundation center has a website: www.fdncenter.com

THere's a site called Artsdeadline.com: www.artsdeadline.com

BOth sites want you to pay a subscriptoin fee-but it it worth it?

Hello AngeliqueEast, thank you for responding. Does the Grants and Foundations Library have a website? I'm trying to find it. Please help.

Did you try to Google the term? I just did and hit it on the first shot.
