Opportunity Fund grants are intended for special projects or emergencies that are not part of an organization’s ongoing work. These activities are frequently in response to rapidly emerging issues and might include: demonstrations and rallies, coalition efforts, conferences, or forums.

The Opportunity Fund makes grants to groups that:

• Meet all basic eligibility requirements and funding criteria
• Are facing an emerging issue, project, or situation that is not part of the organization’s ongoing work
• Have not received an Opportunity Fund grant within the past 12 months*

*12 months from when the application was submitted

Grants range from $50 to $1,000. Groups who have received grants from the Opportunity Fund in the past year may not reapply in the following grant cycle.
