    About Fund for Southern Communities

    Fund for Southern Communities Inc. channels its largest recent awards into Black girls’ and women’s organizing, with a $200,000 grant in 2024 to Reverse Cycle of Incarceratio for Women Rising. That scale sits alongside a broad pattern of direct support for small community groups working on social change across the U.S. South. The foundation’s recent grants also include $128,820 to Social & Environment Entrepre for organizational support and $123,638 to Trans Forming for Trans Forming, showing that it backs both general operations and named program work. Across the 2024 grants listed here, the funder supports community groups connected to environmental justice, anti-racism, women’s rights, youth development, LGBTQ rights, workers’ rights, civil rights, and disability rights. Its portfolio also points to a strong emphasis on Black-led and Black women-centered organizations, including multiple grants under the Black Girl Dream Fund. The funder accepts unsolicited applications through its general grants and community organizing grants programs, and its stated grant size range of $1,000 to $5,000 sits below some of the larger awards reflected in the recent grants table.

    What Fund for Southern Communities Funds

    A clear theme in the recent grants is support for Black girls and young women. Fund for Southern Communities Inc. awarded $45,500 to Every Black Girl for the Black Girl Dream Fund, then made additional Black Girl Dream Fund grants to Restoreher US America, Black Girls Smile Inc, and Girls of Excellence. That cluster shows a repeated interest in leadership development and community support for Black women and girls. The foundation also funds organizing infrastructure. It gave $40,000 to Project South for CASEY NPU and $38,000 to 3d Girls for various work, both of which sit within a broader community-organizing pattern. In addition, it supported arts and media through $10,200 to Alternate Roots for a general grant, indicating that non-traditional arts and media are part of its grantmaking mix. Youth-focused work appears as well: The Power of Girls received $26,333, Girls Going Global received $22,500, and Hope for Youth Inc received $10,688, all in 2024.

    How Fund for Southern Communities Gives

    The grant-size distribution centers on modest awards: p25 is $10,791, median is $15,745, and p75 is $37,500. Most grants in the list are in the five-figure range, with a few much larger awards at the top end. The pattern also shows repeat use of thematic funding buckets such as Black Girl Dream Fund and CASEY NPU. Fund for Southern Communities Inc. is a regular funder and makes direct grants; it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its active programs accept unsolicited applications, including General Grants / Community Organizing Grants and General Grants. The recent grant list is entirely from 2024, which provides a current-year snapshot rather than a multi-year sequence.
