Grassroots organizations in Oregon facing urgent threats now have a new resource for support. Borealis Philanthropy, with funding from Meyer Memorial Trust, has launched the Oregon round of SAFE (Security, Action, and Freedom for Everyone) grants.
SAFE is a rapid-response fund designed to help community based groups protect their teams, strengthen infrastructure and respond to emerging threats. If your organization is on the frontlines of reproductive rights, racial justice, trans rights or immigrant justice, you may be eligible.
SAFE funding is designed to meet urgent needs, helping groups respond quickly and effectively in times of crisis. If your organization is under threat and needs resources to stay safe and continue your work, we encourage you to apply.
