Applicants should prioritize networked, relationship-based routes: be visible to regional intermediaries and movement partners, seek introductions through coalition partners or trusted intermediaries, and engage program staff listed on the website. Proposals should emphasize clear alignment with the foundation’s Southern justice priorities and readiness for general operating support, since unsolicited online applications are not the stated pathway and selection appears curated despite a public website and staff contacts.
