Grassroots Organizing Groups Addressing Police Violence and Discriminatory Policing Funded
Borealis Philanthropy: Communities Transforming Policing Fund (CTPF) is a donor collaborative supporting local grassroots organizing groups in the United States that are led by and for communities most impacted by deadly and discriminatory policing practices. The CTPF has launched a request for proposals to support rapid response and emerging learning opportunities for organizations addressing police violence and criminalization, campaigns to invest in communities and divest from policing, and building community-based safety strategies. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, or groups that are fiscally sponsored, that have a 2022 annual operating budget of $750,000 or less; are grassroots organizing groups working authentically with communities most impacted by policing and incarceration; have an explicit commitment to racial, disability, and gender justice; and include a power building and leadership development strategy that centers those most impacted by policing. Priority will be given to work in historically underfunded geographic areas such as the South, rural areas, U.S. Territories, etc. Applicants can request up to $30,000, with an average award of $25,000. Proposals received by October 28, 2022, will be considered for grant approval in November. Visit the CTPF's request for proposal page for details.
