LFW created the Race Equity Grant fund to build power within communities that have been historically overlooked within philanthropy and to combat the disparate outcomes that racism creates for people of color, particularly in the justice system. The advisory panel is crucial to providing insight into the challenges facing Washington’s communities of color and ensuring that LFW grants connect to those concerns.
At the conclusion of each grant review cycle, panelists will receive a stipend—$450 for panelists with lived experience and $300 for all others. We will have two grant review cycles per year, for a total stipend of $900 and $600, respectively.
