Funding opportunities

Organizations and programs must focus on at least one of our social investment sectors: crisis response, education, economic empowerment, and/or climate impact and regeneration. For education, crisis response, and economic empowerment proposals, we will also consider proposals that address environmental sustainability within the context of that investment area. For example, we would consider funding an economic empowerment program that specifically focuses on creating green jobs. Applicants must first take an eligibility quiz before being directed to submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI).
