We The Revolt Grants
Fund the people closest to the problem.
Competitive grants for grassroots organizations, community centers and faith-based networks serving justice-involved youth. We back local leaders young people already trust.
Why grants
We do not have to be in every city. We have to make sure the right people are.
We award competitive grants that support mentoring, trauma-informed care, re-entry planning and community programming for young people affected by incarceration, violence or systemic inequity.
