Through our Community Grant Program, we offer nonprofit organizations the opportunity to access in-kind venue space for hosting events. Our focus is on supporting organizations with limited resources that center communities of color. Additional consideration will be given to initiatives that bring equity to issues of gender, class, socioeconomic status, and ability.

We view this as a chance to provide a welcoming space for meaningful dialogue and collective action. Learn more about Ecotrust's mission . The 2026 Community Grant cycle is open as of November 1st, 2025.
