Technical assistance is available to applicants until 11/1.
Last month we launched People, Parks, and Power (P3), a national initiative to invest in green space, health equity, and racial justice. P3 is a joint effort of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, led and managed by Prevention Institute. Through this new initiative, $7 million in funding is available for community-based organizations and base-building groups working to advance park and green space equity in urban areas across the U.S. through local policy and systems change. Letters of Intent are due by November 4, 2021.
Base-building groups that are led by people of color and build community power to influence local policy are strongly encouraged to apply. Technical assistance for prospective applicants is now available.
Applicants do not need to have focused on park equity before—P3 will fund groups to flex their organizing, power building, and policy advocacy skills to take on the policies, institutional practices, and power dynamics that produced park inequities in the first place. To learn more about eligibility and selection criteria, and how your organization can apply, please download the Call for Proposals here.
Prevention Institute is now offering optional technical assistance for prospective P3 applicants, until November 1, 2021. If you have questions about the P3 funding opportunity, please contact: P3info@rwjf.org.
