Deadline: 15-Apr-25
The Legal Foundation of Washington is seeking applications for its Race Equity Grants program to provide multiyear funding to advance racial justice in civil legal aid and build power in communities most impacted by structural racism and oppression.
They use a community-driven grantmaking model designed to center the voices of communities most impacted by grantmaking decisions. An advisory panel of community leaders who have lived experience with the legal aid system, poverty, and racism review grant applications and prioritize the projects that will be most impactful.
Goals
- The goals of the Race Equity Grant Fund are to:
- invest in communities most impacted by structural racism and oppression;
- support community- and client-centered approaches to civil legal aid;
- increase civil justice for communities of color;
- build and support anti-racist organizations and leadership; and
- center those most impacted in the decision making process.
Funding Information
- Grant awards: Twenty $50,000 grants will be awarded, each with two-year terms.
- Grant term: Two-year term from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027.
Who can apply?
- Civil legal aid providers or organizations in partnership with civil legal aid providers are eligible to apply. They welcome proposals from nonprofits, Tribal entities, and fiscally sponsored programs. If you have received a past Race Equity Grant, you are eligible to apply if your final report has been submitted or if your grant will conclude by June 30, 2025.
