Grantmaking

MCF Funding Overview

To advance our vision of a country where our government prioritizes the needs of excluded and underrepresented communities, MCF provides community organizations with general operating support at up to 25% of their operating budget over five years.

MCF is an invitation-only grantmaking organization.

We Fund
Community Organizing

At MCF, we believe in the power of community organizing to create a vibrant multiracial democracy. 

Our funding fuels the work of community organizers who bring people together to tackle the deep-rooted inequalities that impact their daily lives—from wealth disparities to lack of access to education, healthcare, clean water, and more. 

We support initiatives and organizations that inspire and mobilize communities and create meaningful examples of what government can look like when it serves everyday people—not just the rich and politically powerful.
