GRANT FOCUS: Child/Youth Health, Environment, Health, Minority Children/Youth, Community
Amount: $70,000 – $100,000
Deadline: July 12, 2019 (Letters of Inquiry)
“[The initiative] supports campaigns and programs designed to reduce children’s exposures to toxic chemicals in products and in their environments. The Foundation recognizes that toxic chemicals pose a threat to all people, especially children, and the government does not do an adequate job protecting children from these hazards. Cedar Tree also recognizes that communities of color are most often and most deeply impacted by environmental threats.
The Cedar Tree Foundation is now accepting inquiries for a third round of grants in the Children’s Environmental Health Initiative, which will be awarded in late Fall 2019. The 2019 docket will focus on non-profit organizations working in communities of color to protect and improve children’s health by addressing exposures to toxic chemicals in products and the environment. The Cedar Tree Foundation will place special emphasis in this docket on awarding grants to organizations whose leadership (staff/board) and programs reflect the communities they serve, with a priority placed on organizations led by people of color.
We expect the majority of these grants to be project support grants for organizations who work on children’s environmental health as one of a wider range of issues, but we are open to general support grants if your organizational mission relates directly to children’s environmental health. We are open to funding local, grassroots efforts as well as national projects.”
Funder: The Cedar Tree Foundation
Eligibility: Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations with organizational budget between $250,000 and $10,000,000.
