**To open up and broaden the conversation about philanthropy, Alliance magazine 
has launched the Alliance Inclusion Fund.**

The goal of [the fund](https://www.alliancemagazine.org/inclusion-fund/) is to help
previously excluded voices to be heard by overcoming the financial and language 
barriers to participating. It will do this by supporting and incentivising contributions
from front line or grassroots organisations and those who do not speak English or
have it as a first language. 

The decision follows an EDI audit last year that highlighted that these were the
two key barriers to achieving a broader conversation about philanthropy.

The fund will pay writers directly for their articles and/or pay the organisations
at which those writers are based in recognition of their time and expertise. It 
will also provide an option to submit articles in the writer’s own language with
_Alliance_ handling and paying for translation supported by supplying submission
guidelines in local languages wherever possible.

The criteria are as follows:

 * Grassroots organisations with an annual budget of less than $250,000 including
   those who haven’t written for Alliance_ _magazine before 
 * Identify as an organisation whose vision and mission focuses on advancing the
   development of grassroots movements or causes 
 * Individual practitioners who predominantly write in a language other than English

To apply, there is a [form to fill in](https://www.alliancemagazine.org/inclusion-fund/)
on the Alliance site, where pitches or articles can also be uploaded.
