Summary
This grant opportunity supports nonprofit organizations across the United States working in a variety of mission-driven fields, such as environmental justice, public education, civic engagement, and social equity. Funding is available primarily for 501(c)(3) organizations that demonstrate a strong alignment with the funder’s core priorities of climate change mitigation, democracy building, and community empowerment.
Organizations may use this funding for both program-specific initiatives and core operating support. Typical project areas include advocacy, policy work, capacity-building, clean energy efforts, equitable access to public education, and community development. The grant is designed to catalyze long-term impact by supporting sustainable, equitable solutions and strengthening partners’ ability to scale their work.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (public charitable status), and grant requests must clearly articulate how the proposed work connects with the funder’s values around racial equity, civic engagement, and environmental responsibility. The foundation does not support projects that fall outside its focus areas or involve discriminatory or illicit activities.
Grant amounts vary significantly depending on the scale and scope of the proposal. Some grantees receive multi-year support, and awards can range from modest operating grants to large multi-year program investments. The foundation typically reviews proposals three times per year, with deadlines aligned to trustee meeting cycles.
This opportunity is ideal for nonprofits with well-established programs or emerging initiatives that seek to address complex social issues while strengthening their institutional capacity. The funder places a strong emphasis on grantee relationships, contextual understanding of local challenges, and long-term partnership rather than one-time project funding.
