Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $50,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support time-sensitive, narrative-centered initiatives across the United States. It offers flexible funding to qualified applicants—nonprofit organizations, small for-profit entities, or individuals (or projects under fiscal sponsorship)—to catalyze cultural, creative, or public engagement work during high-impact moments. The intent is to strengthen narrative influence, amplify underrepresented voices, and shift public understanding and discourse.
Eligible work may include campaigns, artistic activations, convenings, research or analytics, pop culture interventions, or other forms of storytelling or cultural strategy. Applicants should propose work that reaches broad audiences (ideally scaling to mass engagement) and that meaningfully connects to communities historically marginalized or underrepresented, such as people of color, immigrants or refugees, Indigenous peoples, LGBTQ+ communities, women, and individuals with disabilities. Proposals with explicit intersections of gender justice, economic justice, disability equity, or democratic inclusion are of particular interest.
The grant is open to applicants based in the U.S. (or U.S. territories). Projects outside of the country are not eligible. The funding is intended for work already in motion or poised to activate quickly, not for entirely new, long-term programs. Funds may be used for creative production, narrative strategy design, community engagement, campaign activation, convenings, research, evaluation, and related costs tied to the proposed intervention.
Award amounts are modest to midscale, aiming to support nimble, responsive work rather than large institutional transformations in a single round. Selection decisions will prioritize proposals that demonstrate cultural resonance, timeliness, potential for amplification, and alignment with field priorities. Applicants should be prepared to move rapidly and with agility. While both nonprofit and for-profit entities are eligible (or individuals via fiscal sponsorship), the emphasis is on supporting work that advances public narrative change rather than purely commercial ventures.
Those working in LGBTQ+ and located in Idaho may meet the eligibility criteria for this grant. To browse other funding opportunities suited to your focus areas, visit The Grant Portal and try the Search Grant tool.
