About diversity grants

Diversity grants help nonprofits advance diversity, equity, and inclusion across education, the workplace, the arts, and underserved communities. Funding comes largely from private foundations and corporate giving programs, with funders such as the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Ford Foundation supporting equity-focused initiatives and many companies offering grants through their corporate social responsibility programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for diversity and inclusion initiatives?

Diversity grants fund programs that expand access and opportunity for marginalized communities, including scholarships, leadership pipelines, inclusive education, and organizational equity work. Awards range from small corporate community grants to larger multi-year foundation investments, and many are tied to a specific population, sector, or geographic focus.

Who funds diversity grants for nonprofits?

Private foundations such as the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Ford Foundation fund equity and inclusion work, and many corporations offer diversity-focused grants through their charitable foundations and community giving programs. Community foundations and regional funders also support local DEI initiatives.

How can a nonprofit position itself for diversity funding?

Be specific about which communities you serve and the equity outcomes you pursue, and back your work with data and authentic community leadership. Because corporate funders often fund within their operating regions or industries, research each funder's priorities and geographic focus, and look for opportunities that align with your mission rather than reshaping your program to chase dollars.
