A new funding opportunity has been announced to support grassroots efforts that promote justice, dignity, and empowerment for underserved communities around the world. This grant is designed to assist vulnerable populations—both in the United States and internationally—by addressing basic human needs and supporting sustainable, community-led development.
The program focuses on helping those who have been marginalized or overlooked, offering financial and hands-on support to projects that can deliver long-term change. The initiative works in close cooperation with local communities to implement solutions that are not only impactful but also scalable and sustainable over time.
For the 2025/2026 grant cycle, the emphasis will be on supporting projects that provide the fundamental building blocks of a decent life. These include access to food, clean water, shelter, clothing, and healthcare, as well as initiatives that promote education, women’s empowerment, gender equity, resiliency, and internet connectivity.
Grants typically range between $1,500 and $10,000 and are awarded to individuals or organizations that demonstrate a strong commitment to serving those in need. Preference is given to projects that foster self-reliance and empowerment within communities, aiming to create tangible, lasting improvements.
Applicants must clearly show how their initiative responds to unmet needs and uplifts poor or marginalized populations. The funding is not intended to cover overhead, administrative salaries, or expenses related to political campaigns, building projects, scholarships, or for-profit operations.
The program offers more than just funding—it also provides grantees with the benefit of shared experience and support to strengthen their impact and reach.
