Good Neighbor Grants
Good Neighbor Grants support outreach activities that address issues of income inequality or racism, provide support for refugees, aid to those with diverse sexual preference and gender identities, and other issues related to power disparities within our community. Grants must be for at least $2,500, and applications are due at the end of September and January.
