Those requesting and accepting grants must be active members of an Indivisible group that is registered with Indivisible , and be using the money to fund activities approved by their group and its leadership. The applicant group, or another Indivisible chapter partnering on their proposal, must have a registered Distributed Fundraising account in order to complete the application. What will be funded?

GROW Grant money must be used for Indivisible-led activities that increase collaboration between two or more Indivisible groups, and/or for activities that build capacity for the group(s) involved by focusing on things like recruiting new members, developing leadership capacity, increasing technical skills, and building racial equity and inclusion. How the funds will be received?

One of the groups involved in any grant must have (or commit to join) a Distributed Fundraising account (this is so that we can distribute the funds to you seamlessly and maintain 501c4 compliance). NOTE: registering and activating your account can take a couple of weeks, and you cannot receive grant funds without one.

If you do not have a Distributed Fundraising account, you must set one up now and go through the onboarding process before applying. NOTE: Registering and activating your account can take a couple of weeks. You cannot apply for or receive grant funds without it.

Grant Awarding and Usage Timetable Grant funds should be used within six months of receipt. Grant recipients need to report that appx. 75% or more of their most recent award has been spent before they will be considered for another grant funding the same project.

Recipients’ Debrief Surveys are due once the project is completed.
