Support community-led development
Agents of Change grants allow parent leaders to identify community needs, and design and implement their solutions. Choose which issue you’d like to address by fully funding a proposal.
Support resilience and recovery
People living in poverty face greater hardships during crises such as natural disasters, health emergencies, fires, or loss of income. Your support prevents families from losing progress on their paths out of poverty.
