The Northwest Health Foundation (NWHF) and the Collins Foundation seeks to support disability justice leadership in their region by providing grants for community building, civic engagement, community organizing, cultural work, leadership development, movement building or policy advocacy.
Disability justice is a movement framework that centers queer and transgender disabled people of color. Disability justice principles include intersectionality, leadership of those most impacted, anti-capitalist politic, cross-movement solidarity, recognizing wholeness, sustainability, commitment to cross-disability solidarity, interdependence, collective access and collective liberation.
Funding Information
They have $40,000 available in grant funding for fiscally sponsored projects, 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) organizations, including four grant awards for up to $5,000 and two grant awards for up to $10,000.
Geographic Areas
- NWHF funding is available to those organizations within the state of Oregon, and Clark, Cowlitz, Pacific, Skamania, and Wahkiakum counties in the state of Washington.
- Organizations outside of these regional areas may be eligible to apply for grant opportunities, but the work of the proposed programming or project must take place within these geographic areas.
Eligibility Criteria
- Advancing Disability Justice Grants are available for groups led by disabled Black, Indigenous or other people of color (BIPOC), or BIPOC-led groups that have disabled BIPOC leadership for the project. Projects should be led by and focus on disabled BIPOC in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
- NWHF defines BIPOC-led organizations as organizations whose origins stem from BIPOC community members, and whose current staff, leadership and the people they serve are 51% or more BIPOC. Often, BIPOC-led organizations name Black, Native or other communities of color in their mission statements and judge their success on how well they are serving those communities. They see BIPOC-led organizations as hubs for culture, relationship and community building. They also often provide access to resources, learning, advocacy, political organizing and so much more.
