Summary
This organization provides several grant opportunities designed to support community-led initiatives across the United States. The grants generally target nonprofit organizations, small grassroots projects, and emerging community groups, with a focus on programs led by those most affected by systemic inequities. Some funding also reaches smaller charitable entities or fiscally sponsored projects, but individual applicants are typically not eligible.
The grants are intended to support a variety of activities, including advocacy, organizing, cultural work, policy change, and broader movement-building efforts. They emphasize strengthening leadership within under-resourced communities and supporting initiatives that advance justice, equity, and inclusion across multiple sectors. Funding can also help build organizational capacity, improve infrastructure, and support collaborative projects that address systemic challenges in areas such as social justice, disability equity, racial equity, and community safety.
Grant awards vary depending on the specific program and the scope of the proposed work. Typical funding amounts range from $25,000 to $150,000, often spread over one to two years. Some programs offer multi-year support with annual allocations, allowing organizations to plan and sustain longer-term projects. While most grants are open to organizations operating anywhere in the U.S., certain programs may prioritize specific regions, communities, or populations, such as people with disabilities or groups focused on transformative public safety efforts.
The grants provide recipients not only with financial support but also opportunities to engage in peer learning and collaborative networks. The intention of the funds is flexible, supporting both direct programmatic work and foundational organizational development. These opportunities are cyclical, usually awarded through annual application rounds, giving organizations a predictable timeframe for planning and submission. Overall, these grants aim to empower organizations to pursue innovative solutions, build leadership capacity, and create meaningful social change in their communities.
