Majonzi Fund
Overview
Majonzi Fund recipients are provided with a monetary grant of £500 to use towards commemorating the lives of those they have lost in a way that is meaningful to them: anything from a memorial service to commissioning a work of art for the community.
Who can apply?
- Households that have lost loved ones to Covid-19 and would like to organise an event to commemorate their lives
- Community groups and organisations (including faith groups) looking for funding to organise a memorial service
- Social entrepreneurs or artists looking to organise an event or commission a piece of art for a community
Eligibility:
- Loss to Covid-19, either within a household or community
- Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) household or community group
- Intent to use the funds for memorial services (an event, commissioning art etc.) and/or further fundraising activities
Accepted applicants may be requested to provide additional documentation to verify the information in their applications
The application will allow space for any examples or attachments that can aid in the description of memorial plans or case for the grant that will assist the committee in making a determination on merit for funds. Any documentation that serves to evidence your plans will strengthen the application.
The funds will be managed and distributed by The Ubele Initiative, an African Diaspora led infrastructure organisation leading the work in the UK to develop a community response to Covid-19 for BAME communities.
