Grants support racial equity, movement building, community organizing, journalism, health, and economic justice, with many funders emphasizing flexible, unrestricted general operating support. Intermediaries like Borealis Philanthropy prioritize BIPOC-led and BIPOC-serving organizations, often those with annual budgets under $500,000 that struggle to access national funding.
Borealis Philanthropy is a leading intermediary, with racial equity making up the large majority of its grantmaking through funds like the Black-Led Movement Fund and the Racial Equity in Journalism Fund. National foundations including the Ford Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation fund this work directly and partner on collaborative vehicles like the Racial Equity in Philanthropy Fund.
Look first to intermediaries and pooled funds that specialize in grassroots, BIPOC-led organizations, since they often fund smaller budgets and provide unrestricted support. Many do not require you to already hold 501(c)(3) status and accept fiscally sponsored groups. Match your mission and budget size to each funder's priorities, as several explicitly prioritize organizations under a certain budget threshold.
