We are excited to announce the list of Grow grantees for our Spring 2026 round. With final decisions made by our 16-member Grantmaking Committee, $446,558 will be distributed to 127 community groups over the next few weeks all across New England, from coastal Rhode Island to Downeast Maine. Working on a variety of issues facing their community, from immigration justice and community defense to healing workshops for educators and healthcare workers, these groups show the breath and depth of the Environmental Justice movement in our region. We're excited to share highlights from these grantees, and the myriad of ways they are applying the Guiding Practices in their work, throughout the rest of the year!
The amount of demand we have seen for Grow funding each Spring round continues to break old records and set new ones. We've been able to rise to the occasion because our community has stepped up with us. Our work is made possible in large part due to our community grant readers and donors, who contribute their lived experiences and resources to ensure a robust Grow review process and funding pool to redistribute. We extend a huge amount of gratitude to everyone who contributed to this Grow round—we couldn't do it without you.
