We look forward to funding your free educational offering in the arts and humanities!
Events that are free to attend are oftentimes not free to provide. There are numerous possible costs, from Zoom memberships and meetup.com accounts, to advertising and outreach costs, to material costs related to equipment, transportation, and rentals. Oftentimes these costs are hidden and unknown to event participants, leaving volunteer organizers on their own to cover the expenses.
Our mission is to alleviate the financial burdens so that organizers can focus on what they do best: building community, facilitating events, and promoting learning. The People’s Colloquium strives to play a small part in creating a world where anyone can learn anything, at anytime, regardless of costs and without barrier.
Starting on 3/15/2021, The People’s Colloquium has the following amount of funds to distribute. If you’re organizing free education in the arts and humanities and have unaddressed costs, we want to hear from you!
