Action for Racial Justice and Equity Fund (ARJEF)
The Council on Cultural, Ethnic, and Racial Affairs (CERA) is thrilled to announce a funding opportunity. We seek to fund activities and projects geared toward advancing racial justice and equity. The Action for Racial Justice and Equity Fund (ARJEF) is designed to support community-focused and grassroots organizations that are committed to eradicating systemic racism in North America and across the globe, and that center the voices and interests of people of Black, African, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander and/or Middle Eastern descent in community organizing, public policy or advocacy, community intervention and prevention, healthcare and human service delivery, and social issues.
We seek to fund new projects and initiatives that are co-created or led by and center the experiences of people of the Global Majority to eradicate and redefine structures that maintain systemic racism. The goal is to inspire and support the start-up and implementation of community-led, grassroots efforts to advance racial equity. All applications should be sent as a single document to ceraminigrants@scra27.org.
