United States: Tow Foundation launches Innovation Fund
Deadline: 28-Jan-22
The Tow Foundation is pleased to launch a funding call for the Innovation Fund to support groundbreaking, early-stage initiatives.
The Innovation Fund presents an exciting opportunity for the Foundation, entrepreneurship and a commitment to supporting new, innovative projects have been central pillars of the Foundation’s grantmaking since its founding.
The Innovation Fund is focused on three issue areas affecting children and their families:
mental health,
early intervention efforts in schools, and
public health approaches to reducing gun violence.
Eligibility Criteria
The Tow Foundation’s core geographic focus remains New York and Connecticut, but this special initiative will accept applicants from a total of six states in which Foundation board members currently reside: California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
In the interest of advancing racial equity, the Innovation Fund seeks organizations that are working alongside historically marginalized communities; have Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) leaders or demonstrate a proven commitment to incorporating BIPOC leadership; and address the needs of communities.
