The Rochester Area Community Foundation is seeking applications for its African American Giving Initiative. The focus of this initiative is to build on the assets and address the challenges experienced most strongly within the African American community.
Through its annual grantmaking, the Giving Initiative supports projects and programs that positively impact or directly reduce an identified disparity in the African American community and lead to systemic change. Collaboration with partners and/or the ability to replicate program achievements are also key components of a successful application.
Funding Information
- Each year, the Giving Initiative members will determine how many grants and the size of grants awarded based on the number and quality of the applications.
- Only grant proposals of $2,500 or more will be considered.
Eligibility Criteria
- Organizations in Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, and Yates counties with 501(c)(3) status that are actively working to reduce disparities that affect the African American community.
- Consideration will also be given to initiatives that receive fiscal sponsorship from a 501(c)(3) organization.
