Allstate Foundation invites applications for Racial Equity grantmaking program

The Allstate Foundation adopted Racial Equity as a core funding pillar in 2020. It aims to address racialized inequities through grantmaking focused on creating inclusive economic opportunities for individuals and communities of color to improve outcomes for everyone.

To that end, the 10 grants of $100,000 each will be awarded to nonprofit organizations working in one or more of the following focus areas: racial equity and inclusivity in the green economy, including career pathways and pipelines; racial equity and inclusivity in implementation of projects and programs related to the American Rescue Plan and American Jobs Plan; and worker-centric policies and opportunities for frontline and essential workers with a racial equity and inclusivity lens.

Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) charities; however, the following types of organizations are ineligible for this grant opportunity, regardless of tax-exempt status: schools and/or school districts, colleges, and universities; houses of worship and religious organizations; associated support and friends’ organizations of any of the above organizations; and fiscally sponsored organizations lacking 501(c)(3) status.

Phase 1 applications are due May 12, 2023, and based on a review of these submissions, selected nonprofits will be invited to submit a full application for Phase 2.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Allstate Foundation website.

Deadline: May 12, 2023 (Phase 1 applications)
