Description:

Do you envision a world where every child and family sees the road to success? Where a community’s future is determined by the people who live there?

A world where:

• All kids receive nurturing early care and education.
• Health care for mothers, birthing people and babies is readily available where they live.
• Good food is a given, along with support for the people who grow it.
• Parents and caregivers land career pathways that sustain their family.
• And where everyone can heal from the harms of racism and contribute to a more equitable world.

That’s the world we want to see, too!

Where We Fund

Across the United States, with generational commitments in Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico and New Orleans. We also fund in Chiapas and the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico and in central and southwest Haiti.

What We Don’t Fund

We are unable to make grants for individuals, capital investments, political parties or candidates.

How to Apply

Our application process is always open. In general, we don’t have specific grantmaking cycles or deadlines.

• Familiarize yourself with our priorities, where we fund and what we don’t fund.
• Register in our grants management system, powered by Fluxx.
• Submit a letter of inquiry (LOI) through Fluxx. LOIs should briefly describe your funding request to give us a high-level understanding of your work.
• Once you submit your LOI, you’ll hear back from us within 30 business days via email with next steps. At this time, we either encourage a more formal proposal or decline.
• After we receive your formal proposal, we take 60 business days to review. If needed, we’ll work with you to refine your proposal, then make the final funding decision.
  Get step-by-step instructions for registering in Fluxx and preparing and submitting your LOI, including prompts to focus your request. Instructions are available in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole .
