Applications are open for Racial Equity 2030,
which is a global challenge in honor of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s 90th
anniversary. It is a call for bold solutions to drive an equitable future for
children, their families and communities.
This $90 million challenge seeks ideas from anywhere in the world
and will scale them over the next decade to transform the systems and
institutions that uphold inequity.
Solutions may tackle the social, economic,
political or institutional inequities we see today. Teams of visionaries,
change agents and community leaders from every sector are invited to join.
Benefits
- Up to ten Finalists will be
identified and receive $1 million planning grants along with nine months
of capacity-building support to further develop their project and
strengthen their applications. Final Awardees will be selected from the
pool of Finalists.
- This is a multi-phase challenge
culminating in at least three Awardees receiving grants of $20 million
each, and at least two Awardees receiving grants of $10 million each.
These awards will be paid out over nine years to coincide with the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation’s 100th anniversary.
Eligibility Criteria
- Racial Equity 2030 is open to
teams from anywhere in the world. Proposed ideas must embrace and reflect
the values of racial equity and justice. They must be led by a team that
centers on lived experience and includes communities closest to the issues
as part of leadership in the project.
- Given the global nature of the
challenge, applications must be submitted in English. The challenge
acknowledges and understands the barrier this places on those for whom
English is not a first language. However, because of the multiple review
processes, peer reviews, and expert panel reviews, English was chosen to
provide a consistency across all entries, and reduce the risk of
translation error or misinterpreting an application. The challenge has
been intentional in the recruitment of expert reviewers to ensure
representation of global perspectives and knowledge. The challenge
appreciates accommodation and understanding.
- Finalists will receive planning
grants and technical assistance, so early-to-mid-stage ideas are
acceptable.
- Also, while organizations of
all types and sizes are welcome to apply, all projects must have a
charitable.
