The Community Care Awards are microgrant awards honoring BIPOC for grassroots care work.
Nominate!Multiply marginalized BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color) have an extensive history of providing communal care and moving everyone towards collective liberation. Unfortunately, this labor often goes unrecognized.
Affect created the Community Care Awards to give thanks to community organizers and carers. We ask people to nominate each other, so that we can serve as a bridge for participants and save nominees some work.
When we asked for nominations, your response helped us give $500 awards to 6 Black and Indigenous community organizers and carers. Our first-ever Community Care awardees include LaQuida Landford, Leila Haile, Natasha Marin, and Simona Bearcub.
