All parts of the application must be submitted before Saturday April 25th, 2026 at 11:59pm PDT.
🖤✨🏴🌱🖤✨🏴🌱🖤✨🏴🌱
We welcome applications for grassroots all-volunteer anti-hierarchical/anarchist activist projects. We are interested in supporting community projects that would not gain funding from the state or from charities, and favour supporting collectives or community groups rather than to individuals or for-profit businesses. Project themes we're excited to support include:
* Indigenous Sovereignty/Resurgence Projects
* Allyship/Accompliceship Projects
* Food Security Projects
* Tenant’s Rights/Housing Security Projects
* Refugee/Migrant Support Projects
* Prison Abolition/Prisoner Support Projects
* Ecological Actions/Projects
* Disaster Response/Community Resiliency Projects
* Skillshares/Consciousness Raising Non-State Educational Initiatives
* Activist Art/Radical Media Projects
* Anarchist Projects

This mutual aid project would not be possible without the incredible support of YOU, our community. Camas Books is a not-for profit, volunteer-run operation — after we pay rent, order books, and pay artists who sell their creations through us, our surplus revenue goes back into the community via mutual aid.
Without community support, we would not have surplus resources to distribute towards projects in the community where folks are working - in so many different ways - to create a more just, caring, anti-hierarchical world in the shell of the old.
