Overview

BISCUITS Grant A capacity-building grant of up to $5,000 that is open to organizations with budgets under $300,000 and who center building power through organizing, base building, and collective action in their work. The BISCUITS grant includes access to a power-building cohort of peer organizations with networking + skills-building opportunities. If your organization needs support with developing or strengthening an organizing and base-building strategy, please let us know. Grant recipients are asked to attend two short virtual gatherings to open and close the grant cycle, as well as a QMF gathering, time and format TBD. This grant comes with a $500 organizational wellness stipend and encourages participation in power building. Shifting this year to double down on QMF’s commitment to power building, participation in the cohort is required to receive funding, but groups who are not interested in participating in QMF’s power building support may still seek other funding opportunities with us. We hear from many grantees that the power building and cohort experiences are the best parts of the grant! This grant is only open to groups who have never received a QMF grant before OR are a previous QMF grantee who has turned in their most recent QMF final report. Groups who have previously received a QMF grant are encouraged to apply for a GRAVY or Multi-Year grant, as applicants who have not previously received a QMF grant will be prioritized for BISCUITS grant spots.
