Deadline: 15-Mar-22
The Grassroots Fund applications for Grow Grant Program are now open. Grow grants support groups to deepen their work by further developing a community vision, lowering barriers to participation, identifying new stakeholders and working to bring more voices and lived experiences into core decision-making processes.
Priorities
- Grow grants prioritize support for community groups who represent a broad range of voices in their community and who are not being reached by other funders. The Grassroots Fund interprets the word environment' broadly and provides funding for a wide range of activities.
- Groups that are volunteer-driven or have no more than 2 full-time paid staff (80 hrs/week)
- Groups that have an approximate annual operating budget under $100,000.
