Racial Equity 2030 - for transformative change around the world

We seek to close the racial equity gap so all children, families and communities can be more confident, healthier and secure in their trust of the systems and institutions that serve them. We seek ideas from anywhere in the world and will scale them over the next decade to transform the systems and institutions that uphold inequity. Solutions may tackle the social, economic, political or institutional inequities we see today. Teams of visionaries, change agents and community leaders from every sector are invited to join. Up to 10 finalists will each receive a one-year $1 million planning grant and nine months of capacity-building support to further develop their project and strengthen their applications. This is a multi-phase challenge culminating in at least three Awardees receiving grants of $20 million each, and at least two Awardees receiving grants of $10 million each. These awards will be paid out over nine years to coincide with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s 100th anniversary.

Aqua-Spark - Aquaculture for Good

Practically speaking, Aqua-Spark’s investment strategy is designed with the idea that… We make initial investments of $290,000 to $5,800,000 in small-to-medium sized sustainable aquaculture businesses around the world. We do not seek controlling stakes in our investees. We prefer to be a minority investor in the businesses we support, holding between 20 to 49 percent. We’ve chosen this tactic for two reasons: first, we feel the extra eyes and ears of other committed, engaged investors are a great asset to the investment as a whole, and, second, we want our entrepreneurs to have the flexibility to manage and grow their business on their own terms while also ensuring that we have enough influence should it be required.

ALIPH’S PLAN TO SUPPORT THE HERITAGE PROTECTION SECTOR

ALIPH wishes to intervene worldwide, wherever applicants consider and can document the fact that heritage is at risk due to conflict. The notion of conflict is interpreted from a broad perspective to encompass interstate conflicts, civil wars, asymmetrical conflicts, terrorism, violent unrest and other sudden disruptions that lead to instability. Applicants must demonstrate that the heritage targeted was damaged because of conflict, is threatened by conflict or suffered collateral damage from conflict. In keeping with this conception, ALIPH is also willing to support a large notion of what represents cultural heritage, tangible but also intangible. The applicants will be asked to demonstrate the significance and value for local population or communities of the cultural heritage targeted by the grant.
