The Fund for Southern Communities supports progressive grassroots social change organizations in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia by providing grants and technical assistance. Established in 1981, it focuses on empowering organizations that strive for social justice and equitable community development.
The grant program from the Fund for Southern Communities is designed to support organizations that are engaged in the fight against discrimination of all forms, advocate for workers' rights, promote self-determination in low-income and disenfranchised communities, protect the environment, foster non-traditional arts and media, and promote peace. This program is especially interested in initiatives that address systemic issues and empower communities within North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia to foster a more equitable and just society.
