CHILDREN/ YOUTH

Topic: Children/ Youth
Program: Equitable Communities Grants
Deadline: Rolling
Award Amount: $1,000,000
Must coordinate with Foundation Relations. Letters of Intent may be submitted at any time and are reviewed on a Rolling basis. Full Proposals by invitation only. Children are more likely to thrive in vibrant and equitable communities. Equitable communities are places of opportunity where all children and families can develop, grow and contribute--where people recognize that community well-being depends on the participation of every person. Making communities more equitable requires all of us to confront how racism and bias affects our history and present-day experiences, to heal from the resulting fractures in our relationships, and to begin reshaping the systems that hold back so many among us. By first acknowledging and understanding the root causes of inequity, communities can then come together to envision and chart a course for the transformation. Advancing racial equity and racial healing, engaging communities in solving their problems and developing leaders capable of guiding change on this scale are essential to creating vibrant, equitable communities. These three approaches, known as our DNA, are embedded in all we do.

Field Building: We support national nonprofit groups that educate, coordinate, and strengthen a field made up of locally based organizations dealing with challenges to democracy, immigration, voting, and related issues.

Strategic Communications: The Democracy program's support for strategic communications is designed to promote intelligent, unbiased, nonpartisan news coverage to deepen public understanding of civic issues like voting rights, voter engagement, immigration, and the census.

Policy Development: The Corporation funds original research on important issues, including voting rights, voter participation, immigration, citizenship, and the census, in order to improve federal and state policies regarding immigrant integration and civic engagement

Nonpartisan Voter Engagement and Voting Rights: Engaged citizens, those who care about and work to preserve our democracy help ensure that government policies reflect the concerns of constituents.
