The Legal Foundation of Washington is seeking applications for its Race Equity Grants Program to build power within communities that have been historically overlooked in philanthropy and to combat the disparate outcomes that racism creates for people of color, particularly in the justice system.
Goals
Their goals 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; and
- Build and support anti-racist organizations and leadership.
Funding Information
- Six $20,000 grants will be awarded in the spring;
- ten $10,000 grants will be awarded in the fall.
Eligibility Criteria
- Civil legal aid providers or organizations in partnership with civil legal aid providers are eligible to apply. Grant proposals can be for new or existing projects, including operational expenses, and must be focused on work in Washington State.
