The Roger I. and Ruth B. MacFarlane Foundation conducts its grantmaking through proposals invited by the Executive Director and Trustees. The Foundation makes grants in two categories:

Category Two grants are the Foundation’s larger grants and range in size from $200,000 - $250,000. In 2026, the Foundation is focusing its Category Two grants on solutions to address climate change and protect the environment. Organizations and projects funded may include those that, for example:

Promote policies and practices that facilitate the transition to a clean energy economy;

Advance policies, practices, and innovations that reduce carbon emissions;

Steward and care for natural environments and ecosystems;

Engage frontline communities in actions that protect their local environment for community well-being and long-term sustainability.

Category One grants, ranging in size from $25,000 - $75,000, may be provided to organizations addressing one of a range of issues of interest to the Trustees. Previous Category One grants have addressed education, health, housing, immigrant rights, and the well-being of women and girls, among other issues. Generally, organizations are identified by the Executive Director or a Trustee, rather than through unsolicited requests.

The Foundation primarily funds organizations whose programs focus on populations within the United States, though the Foundation also has supported U.S.-based nonprofits working in other countries.

Grant Timelines

The Foundation identifies potential organizations for Category Two grants during the Spring of each year, invites proposals in early Summer, and makes decisions in the Fall.

The Foundation makes Category One grants throughout the year.

We believe those most impacted by inequity and injustice are in the best position to develop solutions. Our intent is to achieve a better future for all by providing support to community-based, grassroots organizations confronting social and environmental injustice. We are inspired by Civil Rights icon John Lewis’ admonition, “Speak up, speak out, get in the way. Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

The National Grassroots Organizing Program (NGO) offers unrestricted, general operating support grants of up to $30,000, with an average grant size of $20,000, to small (budgets under $350,000), constituent-led grassroots organizations throughout the United States and its territories.

2026 Grant Deadline:
We will be accepting new applications through February 18 at 4:00 PM ET

Due to the current environment of uncertainty about our own source of funding, please note that our grantmaking schedule has changed and we no longer employ a rolling, year-round application process.
