Summary
This funding opportunity provides flexible financial support for nonprofit organizations and grassroots groups working toward community and social change across the United States. The opportunities are designed to help strengthen the capacity, sustainability, and impact of groups that build power from the ground up and address issues tied to equity, civic engagement, and community wellbeing. Eligible applicants are typically nonprofit organizations that demonstrate leadership rooted in communities experiencing systemic challenges, although specific criteria and participation models vary by fund cycle.
Funding can take several forms, including rapid, responsive grants that supply timely resources when unexpected challenges or opportunities arise. These types of awards are intended to help organizations pivot quickly, deepen their outreach, and mobilize constituents in response to shifting circumstances. Other funding streams focus on supporting organizational development, training, and long-term planning for groups that are growing their capacity to influence policy, strengthen internal systems, and engage members in meaningful ways.
The intent behind this funding is to provide general operating support or program support rather than narrowly restricted project dollars alone. This flexible approach allows recipients to allocate funds where they are most needed — from staffing and outreach to infrastructure and base-building work. In selected programs, support may also accompany coaching, strategy workshops, and peer learning opportunities to help organizations refine their approaches and sustain their effectiveness over time.
These funds are available to organizations operating in multiple regions of the country, with particular attention given to groups that represent historically under-resourced populations and that work toward inclusive civic participation and systemic transformation. While some opportunities are open on a rolling or invitation basis, others may be tied to specific cycles and internal selection processes. Overall, this suite of grants supports nonprofit and community organizations dedicated to advancing justice, resilience, and collective power in their communities.
