FICPFM Announces Fourth Quest for Democracy Grant Cycle, Expands Network to Support More Nonprofits Led by Directly Impacted Individuals
The Formerly Incarcerated, Convicted People and Families Movement continues to support formerly-incarcerated leaders nationwide to engage and empower communities.
The Formerly Incarcerated, Convicted People and Families Movement (FICPFM) proudly announces the launch of its fourth Quest for Democracy (Q4D) Grant cycle, which will award general operating funds to 42 organizations nationwide.
“Our goal has always been to Power the Movement because when the movement is powered, we all win!”
David Ayala, FICPFM Executive Director
FICPFM’s Q4D Grant program supports nonprofit organizations led by individuals who have been directly impacted by the criminal legal system, including those who have been formerly incarcerated, convicted, or have family members who have been incarcerated.
The 2023 Quest for Democracy Grant recipients have been carefully selected based on their demonstrated commitment to their communities and innovative approaches to addressing injustice. These organizations represent diverse service areas, including healthcare, education, child advocacy, and social justice. This year’s grantees include organizations that are engaging in restorative justice and youth empowerment.
FICPFM is proud to partner with these organizations to support their missions and promote social justice and equity.
Some of these grant partners are in their first year of operation, underscoring FICPFM’s commitment to supporting emerging leaders and new ideas in justice reform and community rebuilding. FICPFM recognizes the importance of unrestricted funds in helping organizations and their missions and is proud to offer this support to its grantees.
“Our goal has always been to Power the Movement because when the movement is powered, we all win,” said FICPFM Executive Director David Ayala. “This is why we have always been and continue to be the trusted voice for the movement.”
