Summary
Grants to support programs and projects that advance human dignity, equality, and community education about rights and diversity. The goal is to strengthen initiatives that promote respect for all people and help build understanding across social, cultural, and racial lines within the local region.
Eligible applicants are typically nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, or government agencies that operate within the local county and work on activities aligned with the mission of promoting human rights. Projects might include community education efforts, diversity celebrations, outreach programs, advocacy work, and other activities that help reduce prejudice, foster positive relationships, and celebrate cultural richness. This fund is not structured to provide support to individuals directly or to for-profit businesses; it is focused on community organizations and public service groups that serve broad audiences.
Grant awards through this program can be requested for amounts up to $8,000, though the average grant given tends to be a few thousand dollars. Organizations typically outline how they intend to use the funds to support projects that align with the purpose of affirming equal worth and community inclusion. Funds may be used for project costs, program materials, educational resources, event support, and similar expenses directly tied to the proposed activities.
This opportunity opens on an annual cycle each year and invites proposals from qualifying organizations that serve local residents or bring people together around human rights themes. The overarching intent is to help strengthen community ties, support diversity education, and reinforce the idea that everyone should be able to live in a respectful and equitable environment.
