Third Wave Fund Mobilize Power Fund
Third Wave Fund's Mobilize Power Fund is a rapid response fund that resources gender justice organizations in the U.S. and U.S. territories to adapt or pivot their work when met with unanticipated, time-sensitive opportunities or threats to their movement building work and organizing conditions. Supported efforts can include community organizing and mobilization, healing justice work, conflict resolution, community accountability, transformative and restorative justice work, direct action, and more. Support is provided to organizations that are led by young women of color and trans, queer, gender non conforming, and intersex young people of color under 35. Organizations must demonstrate how the issues they are responding to are connected to patriarchy, transphobia, homophobia, gender inequity, or gender-based violence; be led by and for communities directly impacted by the issues they focus on; and have a total organizational budget under $500,000.

Henry Luce Foundation
The Henry Luce Foundation’s Religion and Theology Program seeks new ideas for projects that will deepen public understanding of — and promote more productive public discussions about — democracy, race and religion in America.
The Luce Foundation invites the submission of concept notes from a wide range of knowledge organizations, including community arts organizations, media outlets, museums, colleges and universities, independent seminaries, and other organizations committed to envisioning and building a more open, democratic, and equitable world through critical and creative engagement with religion and communities of faith.
We define knowledge broadly and aim to support its creation and public circulation in many forms, including (but not limited to) independent media, visual art, film and video, educational curricula, policy analysis, community advocacy, research and scholarship.
Due no later than February 15, 2023, concept notes should be submitted through the Foundation’s online portal. Grants awarded will range from $200,000 to $400,000 and will typically fund work that can be completed in less than five years.
AMS Foundation/ACR Initiative for Students and Youth
The JAMS Foundation/ACR Initiative for Students and Youth provides funding for conflict prevention and dispute resolution programs for pre-K-12 students and for adults working with youth populations in ways that directly transfer conflict resolution education skills from adults to youth. The 2023 funding track will focus on efforts to increase the resiliency skills in children (ages 5-11) by using conflict resolution education and training to increase their ability to cope with crisis, stress, and lack of hope in the future. The focus is on conflict resolution practitioners and organizations working with child-based community organizations which provide full childcare for working parents, guardians, or other caregivers, or to organizations providing before- or after-school programming. Grants will range from $20,000 to $40,000. The deadline for submitting initial project idea descriptions is January 9, 2023; invited applications will be due May 19, 2023. (An informational conference call will be held on November 21, 2022, and attendance is strongly advised.) Click here for more.
