Grant Criteria

We support people-powered solutions working on democracy, environment, corporate accountability, and women’s rights. We do not accept unsolicited proposals.

We provide both core and project-specific support. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, a legal non-US equivalent, or be able to show charitable intent.

Grant applications should focus on one or more of our four core program areas: democracy, environment, corporate accountability, and women’s rights.
