Silicon Valley Community Foundation has awarded $2.7 million to 139 organizations, including Lyrical Opposition, through its Community Action Grants program, which provides funding to small local nonprofits working with communities that have historically faced discrimination and lack of access to resources.
“The organizations we're funding through our Community Action Grants do some of the most important work in Silicon Valley, often with the fewest resources,” said Nicole Taylor, President and CEO of SVCF. “They're rooted in the communities they serve, and they know what their neighbors need because they live it. When we back their solutions, we're investing in the people closest to the problems and closest to the answers, creating lasting change that benefits all Silicon Valley residents.”
