The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation aims to achieve economic, educational, social, ethnic, and racial equity for all Arkansans. By changing systems and policies, the foundation focuses on long-term solutions and expanding access and power for marginalized communities. It supports this mission through grantmaking, capacity building, strategic communications, strategic partnerships, convenings, and program- and mission-related investments, working across public, private, and nonprofit sectors to foster leadership, policies, movements, and cultural shifts towards a thriving, prosperous Arkansas.
The grant program seeks to fund initiatives that have a direct and impactful effect within the state of Arkansas, specifically those aligning with the AR Equity 2025 priorities. It aims to support policy, advocacy, and organizing efforts that improve economic mobility for ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) households. The grant looks to empower leaders, networks, and movements with the tools and support required to strengthen policies, protections, and investments critical to these goals. Applicants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the foundation's priorities and approach, indicating a preference for projects that promise systemic change and broad societal benefit.
