Important Notice:

We proudly present the results of this three-year reimagining of our framework. Our new direction is reflected in updated Mission, Vision, and Transformation statements, along with revised program guidelines. These changes reflect our strengthened dedication to anti-racism and racial justice, emphasizing the importance of organizing, power shifting, and movement building in BIPOC communities.


Our Letter of Intent (LOI) submissions are open until February 28, 2025. Please note that this is the only time during the year when we accept new unsolicited funding requests.
