Donor Name: Brookline Community Foundation
State: Massachusetts
Town: Brookline
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 03/14/2022
Details:
The Racial Equity Grant Program was created to support community organizations, nonprofits, and other entities seeking funding for projects, programs, and initiatives that advance racial equity and racial justice for the Brookline community. This grant program will provide funding to address racial equity gaps that affect the quality of life for people of color in Brookline.
The Racial Equity Grant Program is the only grant program in their community that aims to address the impact of racism on the health, well-being, and overall quality of life for communities of color, and reallocate resources and power to those members of their community who have been historically marginalized and disadvantaged. They aim to do this by supporting projects that seek to reduce the racial inequities they are seeing in their community and by ensuring that funds go exclusively to lifting and building up members of their community who have been historically and/or are currently marginalized and disadvantaged.
