Description
This grant opportunity from the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation is designed to address the underrepresentation of women and gender-expansive individuals—particularly people of color—in elected public office. The Foundation seeks to support nonprofit programs that engage in direct outreach, public education, and leadership development to increase candidacy and successful service in public office. Emphasis is placed on intersectional feminist approaches, accessibility, and fostering strong community partnerships, with a preference for organizations led by women and gender-expansive people of color.
