ARAISA, in partnership with NBMC, aims to work with grassroots organizations to build capacity and support better access to funding.
Grassroots organizations are deeply rooted in the communities they serve. They play a critical role in offering support that is culturally responsive and grounded in lived experience. They create solutions that are more likely embraced and sustained by communities because of the deep understanding of the nuances of culture, traditions, and needs. However, they are also under-resourced and facing systemic barriers to funding and stability. Our project aims to change that!
To support organizational growth and service delivery capacity, the Equity Project offers:
- One-on-one support and mentorship
- Group learning sessions
- Resources to build organizations’ capacity and funding readiness
- Opportunity to receive funding
- Opportunities for networking and collaboration
