The I Am Trenton Community Foundation has launched its 2025 Grant Round. The foundation is accepting applications in English and Spanish until Friday, August 15.
The 2025 Citywide grant cycle will support ideas that address celebrating diversity, ensuring equity of opportunity, and role modeling inclusion. These categories will be interpreted broadly; applicants should pick the one that best fits their project.
Projects led by residents and grassroots organizations receive priority. Large/established nonprofits or businesses may apply as applicable but are very unlikely to be funded unless it is for a very compelling project led by residents in the neighborhood, and a clear reason is presented why the organization cannot secure funding for the project from its regular sources.
All new applicants must attend a technical workshop, and past grantees are strongly encouraged to attend since the process has changed. Register at www.iamtrenton.org/grants/Citywide for one of the following sessions:
• Thursday, July 17, 6 p.m., via Zoom
• Saturday July 19, 11 a.m., in person at East Trenton Center, 610 North Clinton Avenue
• Tuesday, July 22, 6 p.m., in person at East Trenton Center, 610 North Clinton Avenue
• Wednesday, July 30, 7 p.m., via Zoom
• Saturday August 2, 11 a.m., via Zoom
