The Economic Mobility & Opportunity (EMO) Fund is working to expand grant reach and engagement across the economic mobility field by piloting and learning from new grantmaking strategies and governance processes that focus on increasing the upward mobility for people in the U.S. whose annual incomes are below the federal poverty line.
The EMO Fund has three grantmaking programs with the following goals:
- Make and oversee smaller strategy-aligned grants that increase reach and accessibility to historically underrepresented networks and are a better fit for intermediary structures that can lessen burden on smaller organizations.
- Support the economic mobility and opportunity ecosystem by providing more flexible support to organizations that are influential and critical to the success of the economic mobility field.
- Pilot a participatory grantmaking process to bring in more diverse voices and lived experience within the research and data strategy of the economic mobility and opportunity field.
Please Note: This funding opportunity is part of the final round of support from the EMO Fund, as we are in the process of spending down and sunsetting the fund. We encourage all interested applicants to apply, as future opportunities will not be available.
