The Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation Grants Program

Posted in Announcement  |  Tagged Funding

The Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation Grants Program provides funding ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 typically over a 12-month period. It supports organizations that shift systems toward racial equity in the areas of housing, education, employment, or asset building in the Greater Washington region. Each area is tied to ambitious and highly-interconnected goals for building a more equitable region. Proposed projects must focus on systemic changes that promote racial equity across the DC region, and bring about long-lasting, measurable improvements in the lives of economically disadvantaged people, particularly people of color.

In 2019, the Foundation is especially interested in requests from organizations focused on developing and engaging youth leaders of color, elevating youth voice, and building power among young people, especially people of color.
