2022 Racial Equity Community Fund for BIPOC living in Douglas County (Kansas)

United Way of Douglas County has announced a Request for Proposals for 2022 Racial Equity Community Fund.

Donor Name: United Way of Douglas County

State: Kansas

County: Douglas County (KS)

Type of Grant: Grant

Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 01/19/2022

Size of the Grant: $5,000

Grant Duration: 7 months

Details:

These disparities are a result of systemic racism that is perpetuated intentionally and unintentionally through institutions, culture, and individuals. The United Way of Douglas County acknowledges that the fight against poverty must be inclusive and anti-racist. Because racism is ingrained in the fabric of American institutions, it is easily self-perpetuating. All that is required to maintain it is business as usual. In our fight to end poverty, the United Way has taken a stand to not do “business as usual” if it perpetuates racial or other forms of inequities.

Fund Goal

Traditional funding models are troubled by an imbalance of power and a lack of support for new applicants. As a result, the funding process favors the privileged and is often inaccessible to new, innovative, BIPOC led efforts. The focus of this fund is to support projects that build community, leadership, and direct supports for all marginalized community groups. The simple goal is to recognize that Black, Indigenous, People of Color in Douglas County are best suited to lead change, and it is the responsibility of funders to alter processes and create a safe space for BIPOC leaders to participate and prosper.

Funding Information

Applicants may be selected to receive between $500 and $5,000 in funding. Funding begins February 2, 2022, with an August 31 completion date.
