Funding for Social Change
Free Grants Database
This database is curated for organizations led by and for underserved communities, including people of color, women, trans and queer people, people with disabilities, low-income people, and those without consistent access to safe and quality food, housing, healthcare, and education.
This is a resource grown out of necessity for an accessible database for our communities. Grant databases are expensive and are inaccessible to those who need them most. If you appreciate this resource, please share it with a friend, and support its upkeep.
For transparency, this resource does not replace larger databases like Foundation Directory Online and Instrumentl. (If you want to try out Instrumentl, please consider using our referral link for six weeks free.) See our list of other free and paid databases.
This resource also does not replace the support of an experienced grant writer. If you are a nonprofit that would like to receive prospect research services, schedule a consult with us. If you are a grassroots organizer who wants to learn how to do prospect research on your own, or is interested in a pro bono consult, email us at [email protected].
