The Community Leadership Project is now accepting letters of inquiry from organizations interested in distributing grants, providing technical assistance, or providing leadership development programs to strengthen nonprofit groups that are led by or serve people of color and low-income communities in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, the Central Coast, and the San Joaquin Valley. Please read the “Request for Letters of Inquiry” and the “Frequently Asked Questions” to determine whether your organization qualifies and for details about how to apply.

The Community Leadership Project, a creation of three of the Bay Area’s largest private foundations, announced today its first round of grants to intermediary organizations that will work to strengthen nonprofit organizations that are led by or serve people of color and low-income communities in California. This first of two rounds of grants distributes $5.7 million to nine intermediary organizations in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, the Central Coast, and the San Joaquin Valley.

The Community Leadership Project is funded by the David and Lucile Packard, James Irvine, and William and Flora Hewlett foundations, each of which have long histories of serving communities of color and low-income communities in California and, in some cases, around the world. The Project was launched in April 2009.

Deadline: August 4, 2009 (Letters of Interest). For more information and details please visit their web site.
