Overview

The Regional Foundation Responsive Grants provide urgent financial support to current or former grantees facing unforeseen, time-sensitive challenges. Grants, up to $25,000, are intended for tactical or strategic needs arising from emergencies, disasters, or critical changes within communities. Examples include natural disasters impacting neighborhoods or sudden leadership transitions. However, requests for ongoing operational costs or event sponsorships are not eligible. The application process is designed for quick turnaround, typically within one week.

In the event of a crisis, Regional Foundation partners can reach out to us to request support for an emergency, unforeseen, time-sensitive, urgent need that has arisen within their organization or focus neighborhood.
Responsive funds will be disbursed only for unforeseen circumstances that are tactical or strategic to the organization. These may be of a policy nature, or may include an emergency, disaster, critical emergent change to needs of community and/or operational unforeseen need.
Unplanned circumstances (e.g. “we did not get the grant we hoped to receive”) are not eligible. These short-term funds will be turned around within 1 week of request to support the organization in beginning to address the moment at hand. Requests may be made up to $25,000, for a 12-month term.
