Description of Funding Opportunity

Comunidad Grants provide organizations working at the local level with their communities to address emerging issues. The program is dedicated to supporting grassroots nonprofits who are often most in need of unrestricted funding. Rooted in mutual trust, this program aims to give nonprofits autonomy over how resources are best utilized to achieve their mission. CFSA values community. As a permanent community resource, we understand that transformative impact takes time and trust. We promote inclusion and dignity for all.
