Ongoing Grant Opportunities and Resources
Private Foundations
"We're
very mindful of the fact that thousands of people die from diesel
pollution each year."
Terry Tamminen, Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency Ben & Jerry's Foundation Grants for Social Change
Ben & Jerry's Foundation, endowed by the makers of Cherry Garcia
and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice creams, offers grants of $1,001 to $15,000 for
programs working for social, institutional, or environmental change. The foundation
generally sponsors 501(c)(3) or fiscally sponsored nonprofit organizations with
budgets under $250,000 per year. It does not offer grants to social service programs.
They require an initial letter of interest, after which they will notify you
as to whether you have been invited to submit a full proposal. For more information,
please visit, http://www.benjerry.com/foundation/index.html. Grant
proposals are evaluated on a year round basis; the processing
time is up to eight weeks.
Funders Network
This is an active resource and focal point for foundations, nonprofit
organizations and other partners working to solve the environmental,
social, and economic problems created by suburban sprawl and urban
disinvestment.
The Foundation Center
The purpose of the Foundation Center is to facilitate connections
between grantmakers and grantseekers and offers a variety of resources
and tools to accomplish this goal.
The Turner Foundation supports
projects in several areas, including the protection of the atmosphere
and other natural resources by promoting energy efficiency, renewable
energy, and improved transportation policies and practices. The Foundation
makes annual funding decisions based on timely and relevant needs,
and selects from proposals that are apart of their invitation-only
grant policy.
