Current priorities 

The Fund focuses on advocacy efforts and direct service programs in the following areas:

Housing and community development

Behavioral health and healing

Environmental justice

Families with young children birth to three years old

The Fund does not support:

Endowments

Indirect costs: the fund does not pay for overhead or indirect costs for large organizations or academic institutions; all grant money received has to be used for direct program expenses

Capital or annual campaigns

Special events

Publications

At this time, the Fund does not make multi-year grant commitments, but organizations are welcome to reapply each year. Organizations are eligible to apply once per year and not in back-to-back grant cycles.

Most grants are between $2,500 and $25,000 a year, although there are exceptions.
