Apply for the Equity Fund for the 2027 ConferenceWe anticipate there will be significant interest, and while FNUSA would like to provide funding to all eligible applicants, we are limited based on the amount of funding available. We know we can only fund a small percentage of those who apply, but are working hard to increase resources for the fund.
What is the Equity Fund?
Our Equity Fund specifically supports survivor leaders and impacted communities to access our annual conference and other trainings.
Who is eligible for the Equity Fund?
People of color, people with lived experience, and other traditionally marginalized applicants are eligible to receive support. Support is based on several factors, including past support allotted to applicants, their role in the event (ie: speaker), available resources, and the date when applications are received.
How does someone apply for the Equity Fund?
We only accept inquiries via our application. We collect name, organization, identity, and support needs. To learn more or apply for Equity Fund opportunities for the 2027 Freedom Network USA conference, please email conference@freedomnetworkusa.org with the subject line, “Conference 2027 Equity Fund Inquiry.” Please include your name, organization (if applicable,) and whether you would require partial or full funding to attend our 2027 conference.
What does the Equity Fund cover?
For our 2027 DC conference, the equity fund may cover all or part of the cost of conference registration, lodging, and airfare or local transportation costs. Applicants will select the type of support needed.
Can I apply for Equity Fund more than once?
Yes, you can apply for Equity Fund for the conference each year. However, if you have been selected to receive funds in the past 3 years, your requests may not be prioritized. We know access to professional training is prohibitive for many, so we want to provide support for new voices and perspectives.
