Mental Health Fund
AmDoc is taking a thoughtful pause to reassess the Mental Health Fund pilot. In our desire to rapidly respond to the ongoing needs of BIPOC doc makers, and the amplified concerns of this time, we did not adequately bring artists directly in to give thoughtful feedback on the grant process. We acknowledge our mistake and are putting the fund on pause as we reassess and work to better both the application language and the funding process. We believe in the goals of the fund, and know the real need it can serve, but we need to be more inclusive in the process design for it to provide the most benefit, and not cause additional harm to marginalized communities.
We are adjusting and will re-open the fund as soon as possible.
For applicants who have submitted applications you will hear back from us by June 26th, 2020.
