Philanthropic Commitment
Funding Partners commit dollars with the goal of addressing barrier(s) to securing federal funds through one of the Fund’s four Focus Areas
Resource Navigation
Grantees receive one-on-one, curated resource navigation including needs assessment and technical assistance recommendations to build their internal capacity
Technical Support
