Impact Funding Guidelines: Application Guidelines PDF
Application development support is available to support community-based nonprofit organizations and fiscally-sponsored organizations that serve communities impacted by systemic oppression and do not have the internal capacity to hire a grant writer or have staff dedicated to grant writing.
Communities Rise can provide up to two sessions, 45-60 minutes each, of free consultation with a fundraising consultant to give you feedback and editing advice on your draft proposal. Our consultants can help by explaining the application, framing of the application, brainstorming potential answers to questions, and/or editing a draft application. Please note: consultants cannot write the application.
