Tau Grants
Tau Grants are for smaller nonprofits with organizational or program needs that are limited in scope, and are intended to support organizations or services that assist persons who are historically marginalized, economically poor, or have limited access to healthcare and health information. FY24 Tau Grants will support unrestricted general operating or organizational capacity-building needs for organizations that provide services to the following marginalized groups: BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), LGBTQ+, and/or persons with disabilities. Requests up to $15,000 will be considered for organizations where at least 50% of the population served falls within the marginalized groups identified, 25% of staff leadership (leadership team as you define it) self-identifies with one or more of the marginalized groups, and that didn’t receive Tau grant funding in Fall 2021 – Spring 2022 or Fall 2022 – Spring 2023.
