Applications Open for Samuel Rubin Foundation’s Grant Program

Deadline: 20 April 2020

The Samuel Rubin Foundation is inviting applications for its grant programs to carry on the vision of its founder, Samuel Rubin, whose life was dedicated to the pursuit of peace and justice and the search for an equitable reallocation of the world’s resources.

10+ Funders for Agriculture, Food and Nutrition
10+ Global Donors for Improving Lives of Children in Poor Countries
10+ Donors that believe in building NGO capacities for Civil Society Development
15+ Donors for Saving the Planet: Grants for Environment, Conservation and Wildlife
The Foundation believes that these objectives can be achieved only through the fullest implementation of social, economic, political, civil and cultural rights for all the world’s people.

The foundation has an open application process because they are interested in learning about organizations they are not familiar with that are working for peace, social justice, and human rights. At the same time, they are a small foundation and receive hundreds of worthy applications every year. Unfortunately, the problems are much larger than their budget.

Funding Information
