Martha’s Table Invites Applications
April 18, 2022
Deadline: May 20, 2022 5:00 p.m. ET
Location: Greater Washington Community
For more than 40 years, Martha’s Table has worked to support strong children, strong families, and strong communities in Washington D.C. so that every resident can stay and thrive. To that end, the organization invites applications for the Community Impact Fund at the Greater Washington Community Foundation. Martha’s Table aims to support and strengthen grassroots organizations in Ward 8 that have been historically excluded from institutional philanthropy and whose leadership and staff reflect the demographic composition and lived experiences of the communities they serve. Martha’s Table has a particular interest in projects that pilot new and innovative solutions to community challenges, build or enhance organizational infrastructure (e.g., business and financial management), and improve or expand program operations and outcomes (e.g., increase program enrollment).
Up to 10 unrestricted, general operating grants will be awarded yearly. Each grant will be a maximum of $10,000, which can be used to support a range of activities, including targeted initiatives and/or unrestricted capacity-building. Applicants must be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or operate under the fiscal sponsorship of a tax-exempt nonprofit, and be based in, or primarily serve, Ward 8 as defined by the 2022 Ward boundaries map for at least one year.
