THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Community, Racial Equity, BIPOC, Community Health, Basic Needs, Culture
Deadline: Feb. 1, 2021
“Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation will award a one-time grant of $20,000 to five nonprofit (501c3) Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC)-led organizations that work primarily with BIPOC youth under 21. Funding is for a year- long project (new or ongoing) that youth design and implement to improve the overall health and racial equity of their community.
Grant funds will be used by and for BIPOC youth to create or enhance an existing project in any medium that they believe will make their community healthier. Projects should respond to a community challenge identified by youth. Examples include:
- Helping to provide basic needs for community members — food, shelter, health services
- Creating job opportunities
- Fostering community partnerships for advocacy or social justice
- Designing an art installation, music event or other cultural productions
Youth must be supported by the grant recipient organization to actualize their ideas. Such support could
include staff/volunteer guidance, facilities, materials, stipends and so forth.”
