The Current: January 2026

New Year, New FFT Fellows! (At least there will be on March 31.) The first step to naming our 26th cohort of grant recipients happened on January 22 when this year’s applicants hit “Submit” on their applications. This year, we received 931 applications from 49 states and the District of Columbia (where are you, Montana?) Now the rigorous, rubric driven selection process begins. Each application is reviewed, and scored at least 3 times by a cohort of hundreds of volunteers working diligently to help determine which of the applications will be funded. Good job and good luck to all who applied.

In our first issue of 2026:

1. Listen Now: Remembering the Holocaust
2. So That Others May Learn: Martin Luther King Day
3. Fellows in the News
