Grant Guidelines
What We Fund
PIN supports nonprofit organizations working in six key areas of accessibility and sustainability impact
- Displacement support
- Economic opportunities
- Environmental sustainability
- Food and housing insecurity
- Interpersonal violence
- Preventative healthcare
These are operating grants, intended to strengthen ongoing work—not one‑time events or short‑term programs.
All applications are evaluated on:
community impact, services provided, environmental stewardship and long‑term sustainability.
