The Foundation launched its Open Door Grant Program in 2024 to give small- to medium-sized organizations access to funding outside of our priority Capacity Building Grant Program.

This initiative also gives the Foundation team the opportunity to learn more about ongoing work, needs, and challenges in the local nonprofit sector.
