Homosexuality can be punished by
death in certain Moslem countries and near
death in others; it is wise to avoid travel in
a lot of Africa, parts of South America, and
the Middle East if you are intent on acting

M.O.W. Grant
$ Available

The March on Washington for Lesbian
and Gay Rights is calling for grant propos-
als to disburse about $70,000 in surplus
funds in the national office accounts.
Grants will be awarded by the seven
member Executive Committee based on
criteria approved by the 65 member na-
tional Steering Committee.

“We were shocked to find that we had
any surplus funds given our struggles to
raise money before the October 11th
march,”reported Kay Ostberg, national co-
chair in Washington, D.C.,“however the
amount of money we raised during the week
of events was evidence of the overwhelm-
ing success of the March.”

In order to be awarded a grant, a project
mustbe lesbian, gay, and/or AIDs related
and have national or state significance.
Proposals for amounts up to $5000 will be
considered. At least one half of the
recipients will be lesbians and at least one

quarter will bepeople of color. Preference‘

will be given to grassroots projects, proj-
ects born of March organizing and
projects working toward one of the March
demands.

Those interested in applying for a grant
should get a copy of the request for propos-
als. Write the March on Washington at P.O.
