Civic Engagement (Grants)

Civic Engagement (Grants) is sponsored by Naomi & Nehemiah Cohen Foundation. The Naomi & Nehemiah Cohen Foundation makes grants to national organizations in the areas of civic engagement, social justice, and voter education, with a core priority on integrated voter mobilization, particularly for communities of color. This aligns with election integrity through voter engagement and protection of voting rights.
