New Grant Opportunities

Islamic Relief USA is accepting letters of inquiry for its Silver Anniversary Community Investment Project, which will distribute grants to groups of people who historically haven’t intersected and help them work together on community service-oriented projects. Nonprofit and faith-based groups that are bringing together people with “meaningful divisions” — representing different political philosophies, races, religions, or other characteristics — are eligible. Each grant is worth $1,000 to $25,000, and proposed projects must be completed within the United States or a U.S. territory within one year. Letters of inquiry are due June 15.

The Roddenberry Foundation is soliciting nominations for its 2018 Roddenberry Prize, given to nonprofit organizations working on food waste, plant-rich diets, girls’ education, and women’s rights as overlooked solutions for climate change. Four awards of $250,000 each will be given. Applicants for the prize must register before July 12.
