- serving a new or expanded audience (e.g., age or culturally specific); or
- deepening impact within an existing project (e.g., expanded themes, content, or timeframe)
Catalyzing Impact Grants cannot be requested for any of the following:
- General operating support
- Fundraisers
- Re-granting
- Advancing or inhibiting a religious ideology
- Advocacy of specific political causes or candidates
Funding Information
Grant awards will be made up to $10,000 or 50% of the total expenses for the proposed project.
