We anticipate that the new grant cycle will be more competitive than last year.
The fund is planning for a smaller cohort, with a mix of new grantees and returning grantees, so that we can give closer attention to each of the cohort members.
At the moment, we are anticipating a cohort that has a maximum of 20 grants split between new and returning organizations, in addition to up to 4 YLA grants.
If you and your organization are interested in supporting the work of the fund, and would benefit from a grant of $75k, we would encourage you to apply!
