Ben and Jerry’s Foundation funding

The Ben & Jerry’s Foundation was created to fund organizations in Vermont and around the country that are working for progressive social change.

The foundation invites applications to its National Grassroots Organizing Program (NGO), which offers two-year, unrestricted, general operating support grants, constituent-led grassroots organizations across the United States and its territories.

While the foundation’s broad goals are to further social and environmental justice, its primary purpose is to support the local leadership and grassroots organizing activities of our grant partners rather than any specific issues the organizations are addressing. The foundation is interested in supporting groups that are carrying out activities that build support and collective action to address impacts of inequity and injustice in their communities.
