Funding Opportunity: $30,000 to $150,000 over two year. Borealis Philanthropy. Deadline: July 24, 2025

 Borealis Philanthropy Racial Equity to Accelerate Change Fund issues 2025 request for proposals
Borealis Philanthropy is a social justice philanthropic intermediary working to boost grassroots movements for transformative change. 
 
The philanthropy’s Racial Equity to Accelerate Change Fund (REACH Fund) has launched a request for proposals for its 2025 grant cycle: accelerating change through practitioner organizing. Through this year’s RFP, the REACH Fund will continue an approach to accelerating change, with a focused eye toward supporting not just practitioners, but practitioner-led organizing. 
 
According to the REACH Fund, practitioner-organizers serve as the connective tissue between movements: they build and define leadership and accountability, develop shared analysis, and take collective action within and beyond their respective fields. Proposals should align with REACH’s goal of supporting practitioner-led organizing in order to build power, take collective action, and nurture communities of care and solidarity. Examples of the types of roles grantee partners may hold include: liberatory tech and data strategists; mutual aid ecosystem builders; storytellers, cultural workers, and media creatives; community of practice organizers; healers, somatic practitioners, and movement chaplains; land stewards, climate justice organizers, and agrarians; and health workers, doulas, reproductive justice advocates, and disability justice practitioners expanding accessible, community-defined health care. 
 
The fund is offering a range of funding amounts so practitioners can request what actually makes sense for where they are. 
 
Applicants may apply for anywhere from $30,000 to $150,000 over two years. An applicant who is in an early exploration phase may choose to apply for funding at the lower end, whereas an applicant who is ready to deepen their practitioner-organizing may request more. Total funding awarded for this round will be approximately $1 million.
 
Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3)s, fiscally sponsored projects, cooperatives, social enterprises, LLCs, and other legally incorporated organizations. Organizations must be based in the United States or U.S. territories.
