Description
Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) is a grassroots grantmaking program of the Seattle Foundation, focused on advancing racial and economic equity by supporting community-based organizations in South Seattle, White Center, and Kent. The program prioritizes efforts led by people from communities of color, Black, Native, Indigenous, immigrant/refugee, and low-income communities. N2N provides both grant funding and technical assistance to build leadership, increase community engagement, and empower local residents to address inequities.
N2N funds projects (not ongoing general operating support or direct social services) that are designed and led by the communities they serve. The program seeks to spark community-driven change, foster collaboration, and build the capacity of grassroots organizations to influence systems and policies impacting their neighborhoods.
