Deadline: 13-Jul-22
The Visibility Impact Fund seeks grant applications to fund work in support of the bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and unlabeled (bi+) community.
The Visibility Impact Fund seeks to support and empower bi+ specific organizations, programming, and training to impact bi+ visibility and well-being. They will be interpreting the types of work and programs which fulfill this mission broadly and they will fund organizations that are not focused solely on the bi+ communities. However, grant funding must specifically serve the bi+ community.
Funding Information
Fall 2022 Granting Amounts: two to four grants, with a grand total between $10,000 – $12,000!
What they will fund?
- General operations.
- Without support from LGBTQ philanthropy, they know it is difficult to be a sustainable, all-volunteer bi+ organization. Funding general operations will help organizations hire paid staff, host events, implement training, and organize their community to advocate on their own behalf.
- Training and education.
- One of the reasons they are so invisible, in LGBTQ work particularly, is the lack of knowledge about the disparities we face and about the diversity of human sexuality. If you or your organization needs funding start, maintain, or expand the reach of training or education, please consider applying.
- Projects and programs.
- Any project or program ideas are welcome, including new projects and revising an existing program to increase bi+ inclusion and visibility.
Eligibility Criteria
- They recognize that many of the organizations and individuals doing the work we want to support will need to receive funds outside the traditional 501(c)3 granting structure. However, for this pilot granting, they are only able to grant to 501(c)3 organizations in the United States.
- They are working with their partners so we will be able to grant to non-501(c)3 organizations and to individuals in the future.
- They welcome proposals from any Bi+ specific, LGBTQ, or non-LGBTQ nonprofit organization that can demonstrate how they plan to positively impact the lives of bisexual+ people.
