Racial Equity & Inclusion Mini Grants

Request for Proposals due July 30, 2020

To advance equity and inclusion work in our communities, the Sudbury Foundation is offering a one-time, mini-grant program open to nonprofits in our catchment area* who wish to focus on anti-racism learning and action. We see these small grants as a starting point for communications, education and collaboration, a preliminary step on a path to change.

Up to $2,500 is available toward a project that your organization identifies as essential to furthering racial justice efforts. Some examples include:

  1. Internal organizational learning and communications, policy review, professional development, facilitated discussions, courses, book purchases
  2. Community education (i.e., events, conversations, presentations)
  3. Collaboration among diverse constituencies and/or outreach that encourages new community connections, friendships and partnerships
  4. Other ideas are welcome.
Please submit:
  • A one-page (or less) Word document describing what you plan to do and why, who you will engage, and what you consider success to be.
  • Evidence that you are committed to anti-racism work (i.e., a board-endorsed statement, mission statement, relevant past work).
  • The amount requested.
  • Your EIN.

Proposals are due July 30, 2020. Please email the material to: contact@sudburyfoundation.org by 5:00 p.m. Grant decisions will be made on or before August 31, 2020.

Miscellaneous:
No formal grant report will be required, although we hope participating nonprofits will share their efforts with us and colleagues during an optional conference call.

Questions: Please contact Marilyn Martino: martino@sudburyfoundation.org

*Catchment Area: The program is open to 501(c)3 nonprofits based in or working primarily in the following MetroWest communities: Framingham, Hudson, Marlborough, Maynard, Acton, Lincoln, Natick, Stow, Concord, Wayland and Sudbury.
