Up to $30,000 Community Impact Grant

TEEEM, a New Jersey education nonprofit founded in 2018, is running its first Community Impact Grant Program, funding nonprofit and charitable organisations anywhere in the world that build community-led solutions in education, youth development, health, gender equity, livelihoods and infrastructure. Grants typically run from $5,000 to $30,000, and applications are a single PDF emailed to the foundation by 1 November 2026.

What you get:

• Community Grants of $5,000 to $10,000 for local projects and grassroots initiatives
• Growth Grants of $10,000 to $20,000 to expand programmes that already work
• Transformational Grants of $20,000 to $30,000 for large initiatives with long-term potential
• Requests outside these ranges may still be considered, and awards may be funded in full or in part

• Complete the Community Impact Grant Application: executive summary, organisational capacity, community need, project plan, impact measures, sustainability, risks and a detailed budget
• Submit the application and required attachments as a single PDF by email
