Borealis Philanthropy: Communities Transforming Policing Fund

The Communities Transforming Policing Fund, administered by Borealis Philanthropy, works to resource local communities impacted by deadly and discriminatory policing practices to build power, increase police accountability and transparency, and redefine safety by advocating for investment in community-based programs as alternatives to police, jails, and prisons. Priority consideration will be given to Black-, Indigenous-, or People of Color (BIPOC)-led organizations; organizations led by individuals who have been directly impacted by the criminal legal system; ongoing campaigns in jurisdictions with timely opportunities for change; and organizations who do not receive significant support from national foundations. The Fund will provide general operating support grants ranging from $15,000 to $30,000 to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations as well as groups fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3) organization. Letters of inquiry are reviewed on a rolling basis. (Eligible groups are encouraged to apply soon as it is possible that all funds will be disseminated before the end of the year.)
