Deadline: 19-Nov-23
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is inviting applications to support under-funded, small organizations and projects providing direct services to under-served communities.
The majority of these organizations and projects receive little, if any, government or mainstream funding and may be in the early stages of development.
They are especially attracted to progressive grassroots projects that promote wellness, joy, tolerance, and diversity within the communities. They have a vision that encompasses diverse communities and groups that have a common interest in human rights, people of every gender, gender identity, race, class, age, and sexual orientation.
They favor projects that serve the Bay Area or particularly embattled communities in other locales around the country and the world. (Important: Please note, while they accept applications from organizations outside the United States, they require the involvement of a U.S.-based fiscal sponsor to function as recipient of any grant funds awarded.)
Funding Information
- The grants are typically $250 to $1,000. They rarely fund groups with budgets over $500,000. Given the many applications they received, they are unlikely to fund an organization in two consecutive grant cycles.
Criteria
- They are especially thrilled to fund special projects (over general operations), to support innovators, and to provide seed money that will have a ripple effect. They welcome applications whether or not you have 501-c3 status or a fiscal sponsor.
- They do not fund individual travel, research, living, medical or educational expenses or startup costs for businesses.
- All grants recipients will be required to submit a brief final report with at least one photo documenting your work; these will enable them to promote your work on the community partners page.
