APPLY FOR A GRANT

WRF invests in bold ideas and community leadership that expand opportunity and build power for ALICE families across Arkansas. We fund strategies that shift narratives, influence public policy, and grow grassroots movements to create systems rooted in fairness and belonging.

WRF builds long-term partnerships primarily through multi-year, unrestricted grants—so our grantee partners can lead with vision, adapt with confidence, and spend more time advancing their mission.

We invest in systemic change. Read AR Equity: Refreshed and Recommitted to understand how we fund strategies that build power for ALICE Arkansans.

We believe in relationships, not transactions. If your goals align with our strategic direction, please submit a Funding Request Form, or attend a WRF convening to start the conversation.

If there is alignment, a team member will reach out to explore:

• The systems you're helping to transform
  

• How your leadership builds power and expands opportunity
  

• Potential pathways for partnership and funding

We won’t waste your time. If there’s a strong fit, we’ll co-create a proposal together. You’ll get a clear timeline—and we’ll stick to it. No unnecessary hoops. No burdensome applications. Just a process that respects your time, leadership, and purpose. Click here to Apply
