Description
This grant supports nonprofit organizations addressing the intersection of environmental injustice and gender oppression, with a strong emphasis on environmental racism affecting women and gender-expansive individuals from Black, Latina, Indigenous, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Muslim, immigrant, or undocumented communities. The foundation values Indigenous land stewardship, policy advocacy, educational efforts on land rematriation, and legal/advocacy services for those facing environmental racism or unsafe conditions. Programs must demonstrate an explicit commitment to both gender and racial equity, and intersectional feminist approaches are strongly encouraged. Preference is given to organizations led by women and gender-expansive people of color.
