This microgrant aims to support civil society organizations and groups in the United States to utilize Pulitzer Center-supported reporting as part of projects that contribute to a more informed and empowered community.

For this grant cycle, we are seeking grant proposals for civic engagement projects to be completed by early December 2026 that focus on one of the following issues:

• Climate and the environment, with a focus on U.S fisheries and fishing communities or climate and labor
• Information and Artificial Intelligence
• Global health, with specific focus on mental well-being or connections to the Global South

The objective is to use Pulitzer Center-supported journalism as the inspiration for the projects supported by this civil society microgrant. By leveraging this reporting, we expect to build projects that amplify the voices of affected communities, foster public debate, and drive meaningful audience engagement that will lead to impactful conversations in communities in the U.S. and beyond.

This grant is open to grassroots organizations, academics and researchers, education institutions, civil society organizations and coalitions, youth movements, and other groups working at the intersection of journalism, civic rights, and active citizenship.

Applications are due Monday, June 8, 2026.

The Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program supports high-quality programs designed to develop and improve literacy skills for children and students from birth through 12th grade in high-need local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools. IAL promotes innovative literacy programs that support the development of literacy skills in low-income communities, including programs that

• Develop and enhance effective school library programs, which may include providing professional development for school librarians, books, and up-to-date materials to high-need schools;
• Provide early literacy services, including pediatric literacy programs through which, during well-child visits, medical providers trained in research-based methods of early language and literacy promotion provide developmentally appropriate books and recommendations to parents to encourage them to read aloud to their children starting in infancy; and
• Provide high-quality books on a regular basis to children and adolescents from low-income communities to increase reading motivation, performance, and frequency.

By expanding access to high‐quality books, strengthening school library programs, and promoting early language and literacy development in low‐income communities, the IAL program directly advances the goal of increasing reading proficiency. These strategies build strong foundational skills from birth through adolescence, ensuring that children and students—particularly those in high‐need LEAs—receive the targeted supports necessary to improve their reading motivation, performance, and long‐term literacy outcomes.

The grants will range from $500 to $1,000, and will be awarded to individuals and organizations pursuing projects that support HTEAMS’s mission of “strengthen[ing] the cultural identity of Haverford Township by promoting local endeavors that focus on using music and art as a bridge to promote education and to enhance the quality of life in our community.”

HTEAMS is a volunteer-run organization that presents the annual Haverford Music Festival, a free, family-friendly event. The 14th Haverford Music Festival will take place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, on two stages at the corner of Darby and Eagle roads in Havertown.

“Providing grants to help advance projects in our community is the natural extension of what HTEAMS exists to do,” said Jesse Hubley, HTEAMS President.

Grant applications are being accepted until September 1, 2026, and will be reviewed by the HTEAMS grant committee.

“The main thing we are going to be looking for is projects that are consistent with our core mission, and make Haverford Township a truly great place to be,” said Hubley.

HTEAMS has previously awarded one $1,000 grant, in 2023, to the Haverford Jazz Residency Campaign. The Campaign funds an artist-in-residence program for jazz students of the School District of Haverford Township and the artist in residence visits the district throughout the year, teaching and performing alongside students.

Political and religious endeavors will not be considered for the grant. Those interested can download an application form here. Additional information is available here. Applicants are welcome to submit supporting materials, including files and photos.

FRN launched a data-driven methodology to understand in which geographic areas higher education infrastructure could be best used to rescue the most food and feed the most people. This work revealed that it is more often community colleges, rather than four-year institutions, that can serve as the connecting infrastructure to help feed more people, faster.
Grant recipients will also be awarded recognition and serve as models for how community colleges can play a vital role in helping feed community members in need.

Grant funding can be used towards general operating costs relevant to food recovery efforts (personnel and benefits, direct supply expenses, etc.). All eligible applicants will receive $2,500 to support their food recovery efforts. Applicants who are further along in their food recovery work can receive up to $20,000 throughout the grant period.

All applications must be received by May 15, 2026 at midnight ET. All applicants will be notified by June 15, 2026.

If you have any questions, please email programs@foodrecoverynetwork.org.

This year, YSA will award up to 100 grants of $1,000 each. Grantees are required to engage at least 100 youth as volunteers in planning and implementing the service activities.

Applying for public sector grants can be complex and time-consuming, especially for community-based organizations with limited staff capacity. This initiative is designed to help. Participants will receive technical assistance that increases their skills and knowledge to:

• Identify public sector OST funding opportunities
• Vet and assess opportunities, to determine competitiveness and other factors that determine whether your organization should apply
• Understand grant application requirements, budgets, and review criteria
• Develop strong, competitive proposals

In addition to two group learning workshops, participants will gain access to one-on-one coaching for real time support as opportunities become available.

Who Should Apply. This cohort is designed for Philadelphia-based, non-profit OST providers, already operating at least one OST program serving youth in Pre-K to Grade 8, who seek assistance in securing support from the public sector. Participants must identify a staff member to attend both learning workshops (approximately 2 hours each), anticipated to take place in June and July.

Apply here to express your interest, and readiness, to join this cohort and take the next step toward securing the resources your OST programs need to thrive. Interested organizations must apply by Friday, May 15 to be considered. The application affirms eligibility, asks basic questions about your organization’s OST program and current funding structure, and begins to gather information about what technical assistance would be most beneficial to your organization. Follow this link to complete the application, which should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.  20 organizations will be selected to participate and will be notified by May 30. Contact mwalker@fairmountinc.com with questions.

The application window is through May 29, 2026: just under 6 weeks away. You can view the relevant docs here

A webinar from the Administration for Children and Families (the division of Health and Human Services that is now administering the competition) is being hosted on Tuesday, April 28, 2:00-3:30 PM. Information to join can be found here: Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program (84.335A) | U.S. Department of Education

Note that the administration’s proposed budget for next year zero’s out these dollars based on the misinformed rationale that CCAMPIS funds are “duplicative.” Strong engagement from the field to apply for these much needed funds will evidence otherwise!

Grants are available at the $5,000 and $10,000 level to ensure your community can achieve its unique goals.
