• Individuals Served: How many unique (unduplicated) individuals did your organization directly serve in the last fiscal year?

Organizational Health & Governance

Operations & Impact

These narrative prompts help us to understand your organization’s impact, program delivery models, and commitment to equity and inclusion. Both prompts have a 2,000 character count allowance.

• Programs & Impact: Please provide a summary of your core programs and the community you serve. In your response, highlight your organization's key achievements and measurable outcomes that best demonstrate both your current and long-term impact in the community.

• Equity & Opportunity: How does your organization put equity and inclusion into practice — both in how you serve your community and how you support and empower your staff? In your response, share how your approach advances opportunity for belonging for people from historically excluded communities (such as BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, people with disabilities, immigrants, and people from low-income backgrounds).

Additional Context Field (Optional)

This optional narrative field (1,000 characters) allows organizations to share any additional information that they feel would inform our considerations. For organizations disclosing a challenging financial position or navigating public perception challenges, we strongly encourage you to contextualize here.
