The Bigglesworth Family Foundation aims to create systemic change by enhancing the capacity of non-profit organizations. Focused on addressing delivery system and historic challenges, it seeks to support programs with sector-wide impact potential. It collaborates with partners in legal services and technology to enhance access for underserved and underrepresented communities and aims to break the cycle of poverty.
Access Grants are designed to bolster non-profit organizations' ability to deliver services effectively, with funding ranging from $1,000 to $3,500. These grants provide access to essential tools, programs, and resources, aiming to extend an organization's reach. With a streamlined application process and rapid review, Access Grants respond promptly to grantees' needs, limiting organizations to two applications annually and a maximum of $5,000 in total funding per year. Priority is given to organizations working within the foundation's primary focus areas: Legal Services and CYSTEM.
