Project Overview

We would like a handful of grants written on behalf of Humans of San Quentin. We need help in identifying grants.

Our work is a reminder of our shared humanity. Through first-person narrative storytelling, we present personal stories that break down stereotypes and humanize people living behind bars. Employing presently and previously incarcerated people whenever possible, HoSQ engages everyone - both inside and outside of prison - with educational opportunities for growth, healing, and creating lasting societal change.

THE POWER OF STORY
HoSQ’s first-person storytelling program provides a platform for healing and recovery. For the storyteller, writing becomes a pathway for self-reflection and a way to process painful experiences in their own words. For the reader, these stories offer countless opportunities for compassion, empathy, and understanding. HoSQ inspires individual change by challenging attitudes and beliefs and by building healthy emotional connections that carry over into our larger communities.

We need your help in being the solution for where people should invest their resources.

We have written 6-8 grants and have verbiage to share. We will set aside the time to bring someone up to speed both verbally and in writing to give them the tools they need to write a successful grant.
