Radical Imagination Family Foundation Menu

RIFF has built a community guided grant-making process, informed by the perspectives and wisdom of our advisors and grant partners. We favor multi-year general operating support grants recognizing that transformational change is a long-term process and that community leaders need the flexibility to deploy resources in the most strategic way possible. With longer-term partnerships as a priority, there are limited opportunities for new grants in a given year. For this reason, grant applications are accepted by invitation only.
