Deadline: 20-Feb-22
Applications are now open for the Growing Change Grant Programme to increase the capacity of organizations that are struggling for social change that challenge the dominant, oppressive structures in their political, social, and economic system.
Priorities
The fund prioritizes the following things:
- Groups led by the communities they are organizing; specifically, folks who are most directly affected by oppression.
- Transformative work that seeks to confront the root causes of oppression and work toward lasting change.
- Work that actively confronts power imbalances and seeks to build community power.
- Work that increases organizational infrastructure, allowing groups to do their work on a long-term basis.
- Work that cannot get adequate funding from other sources.
- Work taking place across the expanse of Turtle Island, now called Canada (Given their commitment to decolonization, they do not define their work according to colonial borders but instead engage applicants with some flexibility around their geographies).
