Our mission is to champion efforts to prioritize community goals that challenge racial inequities and advance excellent, student-centered public education for all New England youth. We are not reviewing unsolicited proposals. Our grantmaking and staff time are focused on partnerships that we proactively develop alongside organizations in our core grantmaking strategy. We do encourage you to subscribe to our email list so you may be notified when we do have open funding opportunities and take time to learn more about our current funding opportunities below.
EVENT SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY
It is important to support organizations, communities, and schools that have one-time events in close alignment with our mission, vision, and values. The Foundation’s Event Sponsorship fund is one of the ways in which we seek to demonstrate financial support focusing on K-12 public education efforts that center community members as decision makers, combat the school-to-prison pipeline, value the voices and safety of Black, Brown, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian American and young people of color, and honor the backgrounds and lived experience of traditionally marginalized communities.
The Foundation is proud to have supported hundreds of organizations across the region through our Event Sponsorship program. Over the last several years, the number of sponsorship requests the Foundation received has increased exponentially, requiring us to assess, clarify, and tighten our criteria, eligibility, and selection process. It is essential for the Foundation to support organizations and communities with one-time events that closely align with our mission, vision, and values. Please carefully review the Criteria and Eligibility sections below before submitting a request.
