Groundwork Grants
Groundwork awards grants to organizations in our four partner states — Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.
Through our flagship grant program we award unrestricted, multi-year grants to the most effective hyperlocal organizers on the ground in our focus states. Along with grant funding, grantees get access to a vibrant cross-state grantee community and wraparound support from the Groundwork team.
Status: Open
Deadline: March 17, 2023
Open to any group doing organizing work in our focus states, mini-grants are available for specific, short-term needs, like events, trainings, and other one-time expenses outside of your general operating budget.
Status: Open
Deadline: Accepted on a rolling basis
