Flexible Funding Program
全额申请:取决于灵活的资助类型
Equitable investment in neighborhoods cannot happen without the leadership of community-based organizations. That means these organizations need access to funding that is focused solely on the state of the organization rather than its programs and initiatives. The Flexible Funding Program provides three distinct types of “flexible” dollars to organizations in Black and Latinx neighborhoods.
To receive Flexible Funding support, 该组织必须由黑人或拉丁裔领导, 其工作必须与信托基金的“催化社区投资”战略保持一致.
