State: New Mexico
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 12/08/2022
Size of the Grant: up to $10,000
Details:
The Healthy Masculinities grants are intended to support New Mexico-based nonprofit organizations to engage self-identified men and male-identified youth in healthy masculinities work in their communities. The funding may also be used to support work with mixed and multi-gendered groups. While they encourage applicants to use the free NM Healthy Masculinities Toolkit in their proposed programs and activities, grants may also support activities using content, curricula, and materials from other sources that are focused on exploring healthy masculinities, healthy relationships, consent, patriarchy, the impacts of colonization on gender relations, and more.
This program emerges from the work of the NM Healthy Masculinities Collaborative over the past two years of developing the NM Healthy Masculinities Toolkit. It also stems from NMW.O’s 2017 research, The Heart of Gender Justice in New Mexico, in which a key recommendation from communities around the state was the need for healthier masculinities and gender roles.
We are in a crisis of masculinities and gender, with profound impacts upon their children, families, and communities. Working toward healthy masculinities and reimagining their gender frameworks are essential to gender justice and healing. Their understanding is that healthy masculinities are nonviolent and find strength in being vulnerable. They center connection, compassion, emotional awareness, humility, and respect. Healthy masculinities result from intentional work to understand one’s privilege and power; to learn how toxic masculinities play out in their families, relationships, communities, society, and world; and to practice behaviors and support efforts that counter domination, inequities, and violence.
