2026 Application: IAS Anarchist Horizons Grant / Agency Jen Angel Anarchist Media Grant 

  • About the Grants

    For nearly thirty years, the IAS has funded creative intellectual work that furthers anarchist ideas and makes them accessible to a broad audience. Since 2023, we’ve collaborated with Agency to offer two grant programs: the Anarchist Horizons Grant and the Jen Angel Anarchist Media Grant.

    The Anarchist Horizons grant program supports a variety of radical projects, including written works, translations, artwork, performance, workshops, and events. The Jen Angel Anarchist Media Grant program, named in honor of the late anarchist media activist Jen Angel, supports multimedia projects that help translate anarchist ideas and practices for the general public.

    We typically award several micro-grants ($300-$1500), prioritizing smaller proposals so that we can fund multiple projects each year. Priority is given to creators who are BIPOC, queer and trans/nonbinary, low-income, currently or formerly incarcerated, and/or working outside of academia. Submissions from applicants outside of the United States are welcome.

    In general, our grant programs aim to support work that is focused on the following projects:

    • Preserving movement memory and recent history

    • Reflecting on forgotten or buried histories

    • Developing anarchist theory, including on economics

    • Making previously inaccessible anarchist materials available in translation

    • Building anarchist infrastructure and radical alternatives

    • Uplifting on-the-ground projects and models of success

    • Addressing key anarchist concepts for popular audiences  

    • Reaching children and younger people

    • Imagining transformative futures

    Note that if proposing an event or workshop, the proceedings should be filmed, recorded, or otherwise made sharable.


    Topics for This Year’s Applications

    For the 2026-2025 Anarchist Horizons Grant, we are specifically looking for works that take an intersectional anarchist approach and that highlight the following topics: 

    • Reflections on anarchism (in all its forms, with and without the label) as well as resistance to fascism, genocide, and ecocide

    • Radical visions for a better future and the theories and actions to help us get there

    • Reportbacks from on-the-ground efforts on successes, challenges, and needs

    • Stories, narratives, and histories, connecting our past, present, and future movements

    • Anti-fascism, immigration, and migrant justice

    The Jen Angel Anarchist Media Grant was founded in 2023 in memory of Jen Angel, long-time anarchist and independent media activist. Organized by Agency and the Institute for Anarchist Studies, this grant specifically supports multimedia projects that seek to make anarchist ideas accessible to the general public. Examples of media projects designed in this spirit, include:
