The Joyce Foundation funds efforts to address state and local public policy to advance racial equity and economic mobility for the next generation in the Great Lakes region, defined as Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. (National public policy efforts designed to have an impact on the Great Lakes states may also be supported.) Support is provided for policy research, development, and advocacy in the program areas of culture, democracy, education and economic mobility, environment, gun violence prevention and justice reform, and journalism. Letters of inquiry are accepted throughout the year; the upcoming deadline for formal proposals is December 1, 2022. Visit the Foundation's website to learn more about the program areas and application process.
