Deadline: 31-Jan-2025
The Mennonite Mission Network has launched the Anti-Racism Grants Program for underfunded ministries and agencies in the United States managed by Asian, Black, Hispanic, Indigenous or other People of Color groups who are engaged in peacebuilding, social justice and anti-racism efforts.
The grant program is an acknowledgment of the historical and ongoing systemic disparities that disproportionately affect diverse communities and aims to empower those who are actively working to address and rectify these issues. These grants are particularly aimed at smaller nonprofits who, although they are doing great work, are often overlooked and have trouble obtaining funding.
Funding Information
- Applicants may apply for up to $15,000. A total of $50,000 is available for 2025.
Eligibility Criteria
- Organizations led by Asian, Black, Hispanic, Indigenous or other People of Color who are engaged in peace-building initiatives, conflict resolution, racial and social justice, community healing and related efforts are encouraged to apply.
- Only organizations that operate within the United States will be considered at this time.
- They prefer to fund small organizations, with paid staff numbering less than 20.
- They will not fund salaries or basic operational costs. They hope these funds can go toward specific new projects.
- They prefer to fund organizations doing the work of undoing racism (not just that value anti-racism).
- Winners from 2024 are not eligible to apply
