Summary
This grant opportunity is available to nonprofit organizations based in the U.S. or in certain areas of India. The foundation is interested in supporting community-oriented projects with focuses such as education, workforce development, affordable housing, anti-domestic violence work, and food security. It does not provide grants to private schools, religiously-affiliated organizations, or nonprofits that do not have recognized charitable status.
Typically offers modest-to-medium sized grants, with an average gift amount around what many nonprofit applicants receive each cycle. They do a somewhat limited number of grants per year, often establishing multi-year partnerships with selected organizations that align well with their mission. Over time, the foundation has distributed several million dollars in support to a variety of community-serving nonprofits.
Seeks organizations that are led by people who represent the communities they serve. They value programs that are community-embedded, culturally aware, and committed to creating sustainable, systemic change rather than short-term fixes. Eligible projects typically aim to improve education access, support vulnerable populations, create stable housing, ensure food security, or provide safe environments free from abuse.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best suited for established nonprofit organizations working to make a measurable, long-term difference in communities — especially in areas like education, social services, housing, and food security — whether in the United States or in select regions abroad.
