Opportunity Grants

Opportunity grants assist grantees in addressing emerging opportunities.

Overview

Opportunity grants help organizations take advantage of emerging opportunities, especially those that will increase the effectiveness of existing work on an issue or improve a group’s internal operations. With these funds, offered each month of the year, groups may seek help for activities such as special training for staff, participating in critical conferences, or coordinating key efforts on an issue.
