TD Bank Housing for Everyone Competition
The theme for the 17th annual Housing for Everyone competition is preservation of affordable rental housing.
With affordability restrictions expiring and costs increasing, rentals that were once reasonable are becoming out of reach for many. To address this issue, we'll fund a select group of non-profit organizations focused on creating more affordable rental options through property rehabilitation, rental assistance funds or growing their support teams.
Haymarket People's Fund
Haymarket People's Fund is committed to strengthening the movement for social justice in New England. Sustaining Grants of up to $15,000 support grassroots, social justice organizing work in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Support is provided for community organizing efforts that are led by those most affected by injustice, focus on the root causes of the problem and changing the institutions and structures of power that keep injustice in place, have anti-racist and anti-oppression values and practice, and demonstrate a commitment to movement building. Haymarket focuses on both urban and rural organizing, and supports startup and emerging organizations as well as groups that have a long history of grassroots organizing. Both general operating and project support are provided. For applicants that have not been funded by Haymarket in the past three years, the first step in the application process is to contact the Haymarket office to speak to a staff person.
