Grants for Nonprofits Publishing Nonfiction About Urban Experiences

From The Foundation Center...

Furthermore Program Offers Grants in Nonfiction Publishing

Deadline: September 15, and March 15, Annually

An initiative of the J.M. Kaplan Fund ( http://jmkfund.org/ ), the Furthermore program supports nonfiction book publishing about the urban experience; natural and historic resources; art, architecture, and design; cultural history; and civil liberties and other public issues.
The program seeks work that appeals to an informed general audience; gives evidence of high standards in editing, design, and production; promises a reasonable shelf life; might not otherwise achieve top quality or even come into being; and "represents a contribution without which we would be the poorer."

Applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations. Grant recipients have included civic and academic institutions, museums, independent and university presses, and professional societies. Trade publishers and public agencies may apply for grants in partnership with an eligible nonprofit sponsor. Applications from individuals are not accepted.

Grants range from $500 to approximately $15,000 each and may support writing, research, editing, design, indexing, photography, illustration, and printing and binding.

See the Furthermore Web site for complete program information and application form.
