EmVisionary Grants to Expand Non-Profit Impact
Launched in fall 2020, our yearly grant is designed to benefit small, local non-profit organizations led by people of color as a way to acknowledge structural racism in accessing resources and power to further their growth and impact.
The offering is an organizational video - a cohesive, compelling, and high-quality digital asset - for marketing and fundraising. This engagement is valued at $25,000, at no cost to you.
For questions, contact special projects manager Tanais Garcia (tanais@em.vision).
