Deadline: 22-Jan-21
The Equality Fund at the Boston Foundation is now accepting applications from nonprofits for the 2021 grant cycle. It was created in 2012 as an endowed fund to support Greater Boston nonprofit organizations that serve and strengthen the LGBTQ community.
This unique fund is already having an impact on the LGBTQ community of Greater Boston, with a focus on innovative programming aimed at pressing and emerging issues.
The Fund will be awarding grants to Greater Boston nonprofit organizations that serve and strengthen the LGBTQ+ community. The grantmaking process will be guided by the Equality Fund Advisory Committee, made up of members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies who possess a deep understanding of the most pressing issues affecting the community today.
Funding Information
- It is anticipated that grants will range from $5,000 to $7,500.
Application Evaluation
- Applications will be evaluated based on the organization’s mission, programs, and sustainability; the organization’s ability to deliver the services for which it is requesting funding; and the needs of the communities served (with particular emphasis on the communities disproportionately impacted by the pandemic).
- Grants have generally been awarded in June of each year – however, depending on how the crisis evolves, funds may be disbursed at an earlier date. It is recommended that grantees track data and/or information about the success and/or limitations of their work.
