Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to provide support for community-led organizations that focus on gender justice, leadership development, and capacity building. Funding is available to nonprofit organizations and groups that work with underserved or underrepresented populations, particularly youth and communities historically marginalized due to race, gender, or sexuality. The program aims to enhance organizational sustainability, strengthen leadership capacity, and foster community self-determination through strategic, flexible support.
Applicants may use the funds to pursue initiatives that build internal infrastructure, expand leadership opportunities, or implement programs that increase organizational effectiveness. This may include leadership transitions, staff development, participatory research, strategic communications, or other projects that strengthen the organization’s ability to operate independently and align with community needs. Emphasis is placed on projects that promote self-representation, community-led decision making, and the long-term growth of the organization.
Eligible applicants include small to mid-sized nonprofit organizations with clear plans for capacity building and sustainable impact. Priority is given to groups that are led by and accountable to the communities they serve. While the program is primarily targeted at organizations, select projects with measurable community outcomes may be considered. Funding is generally available to organizations operating across the United States, with particular attention to groups that serve youth, trans and nonbinary individuals, and other historically marginalized populations.
Grants are typically awarded in cycles, with funding provided for one or two years, allowing organizations to implement strategic capacity-building initiatives with sufficient time to demonstrate tangible results. The program supports both smaller pilot initiatives and larger multi-year efforts aimed at long-term organizational growth and leadership development.
This grant opportunity is ideal for organizations seeking to enhance their internal capacity, strengthen community engagement, and invest in long-term sustainability while promoting leadership and equity in their programming.
