Grants

TGIF offers two grant cycles per academic year. In September, our annual fall “mini-grant” grant program opens, providing up to $60,000 total to short-term projects seeking less than $5,000. TGIF’s Spring grant program offers grants over $5,000 and continues to annually award over ~$400,000 to larger and more complex projects. TGIF offers an Environmental Justice thematic focus, where projects who apply and are accepted as EJ proposals are reviewed first by TGIF’s Committee in the selection process.
