Rapid Response Grants
Urgent support for unexpected challenges
Designed to support nonprofit organizations facing urgent and unexpected challenges that require immediate action, Partnering for Good Rapid Response Grants ensures that vital community services remain uninterrupted—whether responding to a crisis, seizing a time-sensitive opportunity, or unforeseen financial gaps resulting from a loss of expected funding. When the issues, communities, and core values that we have long sought to advance are at risk, rapid intervention is critical.
Through this grant, we invest in creating healthy, resilient communities while promoting diversity, inclusion, and equity. We recognize that the ability to act quickly can make all the difference between shuttering programs and keeping the doors open, and this fund is here to help organizations navigate critical moments with confidence and resilience.
"A Rapid Response Grant can be the difference between instability and hope. Together we can ensure that help arrives on time and our vulnerable neighbors don't go without essential services."
–Tricia Christensen, Board Member, Program Committee Chair
