Welcome to our online Targeted Support Fund form!

 

Before starting, we strongly recommend that you visit the information pages for each of the funds that apply to this form: 

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and we encourage you to apply as early as possible. You will only need to submit one application, even if you are interested in more than one of these opportunities. We encourage you to articulate your range of needs across your organization, which will help us when developing resources, should you be selected.

  

Application Overview  

The first section of the application includes questions regarding basic information about your organization or campaign, including contact information.  In addition, we have included a set of narrative questions to help us understand your organization and your work. Finally, we also included questions that ask for financial and demographic information.


Please answer all questions as relating to your organization, project, or campaign, unless the question is specifically asking for information about the organization fiscally sponsoring your work.


These application questions are spread over several pages, and some questions have character limits. Character limits include spaces and are indicated by the counter at the bottom of the question. All required questions are marked with a red asterisk.

Narrative Questions

Inatai Foundation wants to learn about your work, your values, how you engage your community, the ways in which your organization advances equity and racial justice, and how you have grown, developed, shifted, or changed over the last few years.  The foundation is especially interested in how your work connects with and improves the well-being of Black, Indigenous, and people of color, queer and transgender people, women, people with disabilities, people living on low incomes, and those with other intersectional identities.  

 

This section of the application contains several questions and we do not need full, lengthy responses for all of them. Brief responses are welcome.  

 

Note: If applicant is a fiscally sponsored project, respond to these questions about the sponsored project’s work (NOT the fiscal sponsor’s work). 


Please provide a 2-3 sentence description of your organization including who you serve and where you work. If selected for funding, Inatai team members will build on this description to share in public announcements.

Geography Information

Inatai Foundation is working to understand how applicants define the geography they live and work in. We understand that Washington is complex and diverse, and we are continually learning and trying to establish a more accurate picture of the geographic diversity in our region. Please describe the geography of your work in your own words and respond to the specific questions that follow. As we learn more, we will continue to update these questions and the language we use to describe geography.

Leadership and Organization Identities

This section has questions about some of the identities represented in your organization. At Inatai Foundation, we believe racial justice is a core condition of equity, and we fund organizations that share this belief. We know that philanthropy often overlooks organizations led by people of color, so the information you provide here will help us be transparent and accountable about who we fund.


Please know, we do fund historically white-led organizations that show progress toward becoming more equitable and reflective of their communities. We are asking these questions to learn more about your leadership, but we know that they will not tell the whole story of who you are. If you would like to read more about our approach to collecting demographic information, you can read our article on the Inatai website here:  "Why we ask organizations for their racial identities"


We believe in funding organizations who are founded, led, and governed by the people the organization serves, because those are the people who have the most important expertise in their lives and communities. That is why we also invite you to share additional information about the other identities and lived experiences of the people who lead your organization, if those identities are important to the work of your organization.


Please provide accurate information about who leads your organization or campaign. We will not accept applications from organizations who decline to share information about the racial and gender identity of their leaders. However, we recognize that Sovereign Nations as governments are inherently reflective of the community they serve and we will not collect additional identity information.
