About grants for minorities

Grants for minority-led organizations and communities of color come from a growing field of racial-equity funders and national foundations. Major foundations including the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation have long funded racial justice and equity work, and intermediaries like Borealis Philanthropy regrant to BIPOC-led and grassroots organizations. Collaborative vehicles such as the Racial Equity in Philanthropy Fund pool foundation resources to strengthen the nonprofit sector itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for minority-led nonprofits?

Funding supports racial equity, economic and educational opportunity, health, civic engagement, leadership development, and grassroots community building. Some funders provide flexible general operating support to organizations led by and serving communities of color, while others fund specific programs. Intermediaries like Borealis Philanthropy specialize in reaching smaller, grassroots, minority-led groups.

Which foundations fund minority communities?

Long-standing funders of racial justice and equity include the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Intermediaries such as Borealis Philanthropy regrant to BIPOC-led organizations, and collaborative funds like the Racial Equity in Philanthropy Fund channel multiple foundations' resources to the field.

Do I need to be a 501(c)(3) to apply?

Not always. Many funders require 501(c)(3) status, but a number of racial-equity intermediaries fund grassroots groups through fiscal sponsorship or other arrangements, recognizing that smaller minority-led organizations may not yet have their own tax-exempt status. Check each funder's eligibility criteria, since requirements and geographic focus differ.
