About this program

The McConnell Foundation's Communities focus area supports equity-denied groups through funding for collaborative action, policy change, and regeneration initiatives that address systemic barriers to social and economic inclusion. The foundation allocated $7.5 million to 59 organizations in 2025, prioritizing work that challenges the status quo, dismantles racism and colonialism, and centers community leadership.
