Summary
This opportunity offers funding to support community-driven pilot projects focused on enhancing the well-being of caregivers and families in select regions. Designed to foster innovation in program development and strategic planning, the initiative targets groups rooted in lived experience who aim to address systemic challenges through early-stage projects or research.
Funding is available to a broad range of organizations, including small nonprofits, unincorporated community collectives, academic institutions, and public-sector entities. Small businesses and spin-off ventures may participate if partnered with a lead organization. The focus is on equity and inclusion, particularly in communities that face social or geographic marginalization.
Eligible activities may include exploratory research into community needs, design and facilitation of peer-support models, pilot programming to test culturally relevant interventions, and strategic planning efforts aimed at scaling impact. The initiative encourages the use of funds for personnel, materials, facilitation, culturally grounded practices, and evaluation efforts that inform long-term planning. Projects should be tailored to local contexts and reflect the demographics and experiences of those being served.
Grant awards are structured to offer multi-year support, with annual funding available for up to three consecutive years. Grant amounts are intended to cover a significant portion of project costs and may scale according to project scope, with opportunities for renewal based on performance and continued need. The program operates on an annual cycle, with an initial intake process leading to invitations for full proposals from selected applicants. Awards are granted each year, pending availability and alignment with program priorities.
