Now in its second year, The Center for Cultural Power s program is for writers of color who identify as trans and/or non-binary, disabled and/or undocumented or formerly undocumented.
Emerging TV writers hoping for a shot at the second annual Disruptors Fellowship now have until March 26 to apply for the program. The original deadline was March 19.
Co-created by The Center for Cultural Power and 5050by2020 last year, the three-month program will select 10 writers of color who qualify for at least one of three cohorts: trans and/or non-binary, disabled and undocumented or formerly undocumented immigrants. Fellows, who will receive a $6,000 stipend, can have representation and be WGA members, but they must not have previously been staffed on a show.
At least two LGBTQ organizations are in line to receive a portion of $17.3 million in grants to help communities disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
The funding is from the Center at Sierra Health Foundation, in partnership with the California Department of Social Services and the Labor and Workforce Development Agency. There are 110 community-based organizations throughout the Golden State receiving the grants, according to a news release.
The grants range from $50,000 to $300,000 for regional or statewide outreach in workplaces and for community health, the release stated.
One of the LGBTQ organizations receiving community health funding is the Source LGBTQ+ Center. Based in Visalia, it serves the queer community in Fresno, Tulare, and Kings counties, Executive Director Brian Poth told the Bay Area Reporter in a recent phone interview.
