The Dick Fallow Endowment for Social Justice was established in 2013 to carry on the life work of Richard E. Fallow who fought for Labor and Economic Justice, Environmental Sustainability, and Democracy and Human Rights. Each year the Endowment will issue a grant in one of these categories.
The endowment is administered by the Community Foundation of the Great River Bend and managed by Progressive Action for the Common Good. Applicants can download materials to apply for the grant here or on the Dick Fallow Endowment for Social Justice Facebook page at www.facebook.com/FallowFund. You may also send an email to [email protected] to request application materials.
Criteria for grant applicants:
- Their work must serve the Quad Cities and immediate surrounding areas.
- It must be an organization and not an individual.
