This funding can really help the organizations awarded the funds. Research has shown that there is a serious funding gap for community programming in Black and minority communities.

It&#8217;s also part of a larger ten-year, $100 million commitment helping Black communities and people in the United States and Canada. This second round of social grants will support non-profits to create employment and help facilitate career advancement for Black people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a grant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/195373\/grants-to-washington-nonprofits-in-eligible-locations-to-address-racism-and-social-disparities.html\">we have listed for Washington non-profits to combat racial inequities and disparities.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are the non-profits that the league has chosen for this round: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newheightsnyc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">New Heights Youth<\/a>: a non-profit sports-based youth development and education organization in New York, helps youth from underserved communities to become leaders. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityyear.org\/\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">City Year<\/span>:<\/a> a national service program to unite young people from diverse backgrounds for a year of very demanding community service work. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/roadtohire.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Road to Hire<\/a>: an organization that works with high school students, college, students, and young adults 18 to 25 to prepare them for career path jobs.
