Past Grant Opportunities:

People, Place, and Planet

Kendeda’s People, Place, and Planet program envisioned wellbeing for all within the ecological means of the planet. True sustainability links social and ecological challenges. The program sought a world that embeds an understanding of the earth’s planetary boundaries into solutions for more just and equitable societies. It also supported storytelling and storytellers exploring new ways to understand human relationship with the environment, specifically how communities are shifting energy systems, economies, livelihoods, and lifestyles to survive and thrive in balance with nature.

Gun Violence Prevention

Kendeda’s Gun Violence Prevention program sought to unite unexpected partners around replicable strategies for long-term change, building on creative community-led efforts to find new, productive pathways toward a less violent society. The program invested in storytelling that moves beyond tragedy reporting and other traditional frames to focus instead on points of agreement, creative solutions, and models of progress. It also supported emerging leaders and new voices working at the intersection of gun violence prevention, criminal justice reform, racial equity, and poverty.
