Catalyzing Community Foundations: A Strategic Lever to Fund Smaller Postsecondary Nonprofits

The Southern Education Foundation (SEF), in partnership with ECMC Foundation, recently launched the Catalyzing Community Foundations: A Strategic Lever to Fund Smaller Postsecondary Nonprofits initiative.

This initiative aims to strengthen community foundations in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, equipping them to support smaller organizations in improving postsecondary student success. As an organization that has demonstrated a commitment to working with small nonprofits focused on increasing postsecondary access, retention, and completion—including students of color and those from low-income backgrounds—leaders were invited to review and respond to our Request for Proposals (RFP) and join us in this initiative. RFPs are now closed. Read below to learn more about the program and participate in future initiatives.
