At Levitate Legal & Consulting, we understand that every grant awarded has the potential to change lives. That’s why thoughtful, inclusive grantmaking practices are essential to strengthening communities and creating lasting impact.
Incorporating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into the funding process ensures that organizations of all sizes and backgrounds—especially those closest to the issues—have a fair chance to receive the support they need. DEI helps funders reach more communities, understand different perspectives, and build more responsive and effective programs.
What Inclusive Grant making Looks Like:
-
Offering simplified applications for smaller organizations
-
Providing grant writing resources or training
-
Supporting organizations with strong community ties
-
Expanding funding criteria to include a variety of missions and models
Inclusive grant making isn’t just about fairness—it’s about making smart, community-aware investments that lead to sustainable results.
At Levitate Legal, we help funders and nonprofits alike build strategies that reflect these values. Let’s work together to ensure your funding creates meaningful, measurable impact across diverse communities.
