Overview

Transforming Systems Grants (TSG) support organizations addressing the root causes of inequality and allow those most affected by systems that create unfair conditions to shape their own futures.  The grant’s funding supports efforts that influence one or more of the six conditions of systems change : policies, practices, resource flows, relationships, power dynamics, and mental models.
