Bread and Roses Community Fund has announced that it is now accepting applications for the second round of the Neighborhood Equitable Recovery Fund.
As in the first cycle, we will facilitate a community-led grantmaking process to make $15,000 grants to groups working on health education, food distribution, family support, and community organizing.
This fund is a partnership between the City of Philadelphia Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity (CEO) and Bread & Roses. Its goal is to support community-based nonprofit organizations that serve communities of color and those with low incomes, which have been hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
To be eligible for this fund, organizations must:
- be a 501(c)3 or be fiscally sponsored by one
- have operating expenses under $1 million dollars
- be physically located and providing services in at least one of the following 15 zip codes: 19104, 19120, 19121, 19122, 19124, 19131, 19132, 19133, 19134, 19139, 19140, 19141, 19142, 19143, and 19144
- meet all additional eligibility criteria listed on our website
Please note that applications must be complete in order to be considered for funding. Organizations that received funding in the first round are not eligible to receive funding in this round.
The deadline to apply is October 1, 2021. We will be holding a virtual information session about the fund on September 22 at noon.
