The Open Meadows Foundation supports projects that are led by and benefit women and girls, particularly those from vulnerable communities.
The foundation provides grants of up to $2,000 for projects that are designed and implemented by women and girls; reflect the diversity of the community served by the project in both its leadership and organization; promote building community power; promote gender, racial, social, economic, and/or environmental justice; and have limited financial access or have encountered obstacles in their search for funding. The foundation funds projects that do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender identity and expression, sexual identity and expression, age, or ability.
Organizations interested in applying must have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status or a fiscal sponsor that is tax exempt. The applicant's organizational budget should not exceed $150,000. Small and start-up organizations are strongly encouraged to apply. Proposals from organizations not previously funded by the foundation will be given priority.
The foundation accepts grant proposals twice a year. The next deadline is August 15, 2011.
