Description
The Media Literacy grant from the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation supports nonprofit organizations and nonprofit schools that provide training, resources, or tools to reduce the objectification of women and gender-expansive people and to challenge harmful gender stereotypes in media. The program aims to educate children and the public about the underrepresentation and negative portrayal of women and gender-expansive individuals—particularly those from marginalized communities—in media. Supported projects should expose harmful media messages, foster dialogue, raise awareness, and encourage activism regarding representation, with a strong emphasis on intersectional feminist approaches that address both gender and racial equity.
