Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion through community-centered approaches and capacity-building efforts. It is aimed at addressing systemic inequities by funding projects that uplift historically underrepresented populations, encourage inclusive leadership, and improve access to essential services in marginalized communities.
Eligible applicants typically include nonprofit organizations with a formal tax-exempt status. While individuals and for-profit businesses are generally not eligible, collaborative projects involving multiple nonprofit or community-based partners may be considered. Preference is often given to groups with annual operating budgets in the modest range or to targeted programs within larger organizations that serve communities most impacted by inequity.
The funding supports a range of efforts including, but not limited to, leadership development, organizational strengthening, access to education, health equity, food justice, and advocacy for social reform. Applicants are encouraged to propose programs that demonstrate authentic community engagement, elevate minority voices, and apply innovative solutions to longstanding disparities.
Grants are available to organizations operating within the United States, with no restriction to a specific state or region. However, emphasis may be placed on projects that aim for scalable or nationally relevant impact. The average funding amounts typically range between $15,000 and $50,000, depending on the project scope and alignment with the funder’s interests. Grant funds are not intended for general operations but rather for focused initiatives or specific programs.
Applications are accepted on a cyclical basis, with clear submission windows and review timelines. Awards are made annually, and applicants may apply once per funding cycle.
