A capacity building grant of up to $5,000 that is open to organizations with budgets under $300,000. The BISCUITS grant includes power building and access to a cohort of peer organizations with networking + learning opportunities.  Grant recipients are asked to attend two short virtual gatherings to open and close the grant cycle as well as a QMF gathering, time and format TBD.  This grant comes with a $500 organizational wellness stipend and encourages participation in power building. Participation in the cohort and in power building is not required to receive funding but groups who indicate they want to participate in their application will be prioritized. We hear from many grantees that the power building and cohort experiences are the best parts of the grant! This grant is only open to groups who have never received a QMF grant before OR are a previous QMF grantee who has turned in their most recent QMF final report. 

The Queer Mobilization Fund is open to groups who have 501c3 status, a fiscal sponsor, or groups without any legal designation. We prioritize moving grants to organizations with budgets under $300,000 that are: LGBTQ, BIPOC-led, grassroots, community-led, new/emergent, and/or rural organizations doing work in the Southeastern US. Our goal is to strengthen the power and presence of queer and trans BIPOC-led organizations across the US Southeast [AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV]
