The National Geographic Society is seeking proposals for a program entitled “Documenting Human Migrations”.

There are over 65 million refugees in the world today and millions more “environmental migrants” are expected over the coming decades. These migrations are challenging social bonds and resource allocations across the world, motivating political agendas and potential backlash, but also creating new and dynamic multicultural communities. The goal of this RFP is to support impactful projects that – through education or storytelling – seek to increase understanding of and acceptance of migrants and migrant communities. Types of human migrations include (but are not limited to) nomadic communities, refugees of all kinds, migrant labor, victims of human trafficking, and people exploring the planet and beyond.

Priority will be given to projects that aim to do one or more of the following through education or storytelling:

Typical proposal requests should be less than USD 30,000; however, applicants may request up to USD 70,000. Successful applicants may use awarded funds over one or two years.
