Grants

Radical Love Foundation provides microgrants to grassroots organizers for mutual aid and political education projects that center community care, especially in Black and Brown neighborhoods in New York City, and particularly in Central Harlem. We prioritize small, community-led groups over large nonprofits or electoral campaigns.

A row of community grant folders spread across a dark walnut desk, each thick kraft-paper folder stamped in large, ink-brush letters with words like “Housing Justice,” “Youth Art,” “Healing Spaces,” and “Co-op Groceries.” Colorful sticky notes protrude from the edges, and a black fountain pen rests diagonally across one folder, leaving a fresh signature line still glistening with ink. The desk is set near a large city-facing window at golden hour, with warm sunlight streaming in, catching dust motes in the air and creating long, dramatic shadows. Shot from a low, side angle in photographic realism, the composition uses the rule of thirds to emphasize the folder labeled “Housing Justice.” The mood is focused, decisive, and empowering, highlighting grantmaking as a direct investment in community care.

Timeline

Review occurs on an ongoing basis through bi-weekly board meetings with our funding decisions being grounded in collective, community-based review rather than charity models. Organizations and individual organizers can apply once a year and contact us to explore expected timelines. Please do NOT apply if the event that you or your organization is seeking funding for is less than a month away (we need at least a month to review and approve your grant application).
