Other Grants

In addition to the Targeted Grants, the Mitchell Kapor Foundation makes two other types of grants:

Core Grants provide ongoing support to organizations founded by our trustees, Mitchell and Freada Kapor Klein: Level Playing Field Institute, Open Source Applications Foundation and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Special Opportunity Grants support trustee or staff-initiated efforts that may more broadly address fairness and equity. These grants provide the flexibility to proactively deal with issues and opportunities as they arise, even if outside our targeted grant areas.

We rarely consider external solicitations and requests for these grants.
