ALL WAYS UP bridges the opportunity and support gaps for grassroots non-profit organizations that are making a positive impact in low-income communities across the country. ALL WAYS UP goes beyond providing financial support to deserving these organizations; we build ongoing partnerships to create lasting, positive change.
The ALL WAYS UP Foundation’s Bridging the Gap Awards (BGA) provides grants to small, but effective community nonprofits dedicated to empowering the lives of promising youth and families. Organizations that have received an invitation may apply for a BGA grant to further their mission. Award winners also become eligible for other ALL WAYS UP initiatives, including nominating students for the ALL WAYS UP Scholarship Program. In addition, every year, ALL WAYS UP selects a small number of grantees to participate in a crowdfunding campaign and ALL WAYS UP matches funds raised by the grantees.
ALL WAYS UP thoroughly researches each organization to ensure that their methods are not only innovative, but offer sound and effective ways to solve low-income community problems. We help these organizations grow and thrive by bridging the funding gaps that exist while trying to build their organizational capacity.
APPLICATIONS
Applications for a Bridging the Gap Grant Award are by invitation only. ALL WAYS UP does not accept unsolicited requests for support.
