This year, the APIs RISE Fund is opening a grant opportunity with the theme "Combating Anti-Asian Hate and Anti-Black Racism."

Due to the high need from local nonprofits during this pandemic and following the killing of George Floyd, APIs RISE is issuing their annual RFP earlier than its historical end-of-year launch. The focus of the RFP is addressing anti-Asian hate impacting our Asian communities and working to combat anti-Black racism within our API communities.

The maximum grant amount will be $10,000 for any single organization. 

To be eligible for consideration, submissions must meet the following criteria:

• Applicant agency must serve Asian and/or Pacific Islander populations;
• Applicant agency must have 501(c)3 status; and
• Applicants must service one or more of the following counties: Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, and El Dorado.
• Please note that grant size will not exceed $10,000 per organization.
• Beginning this grant cycle, APIs Rise will not award grants to an organization that has been awarded grants over two consecutive years.
• Also beginning this year, each awardee will be required to submit a brief report no longer than one page at the conclusion of the grant period or project.

Proposals will only be accepted through our online application. No email or paper applications will be accepted.
