Hi friends,

I am a steering committee member of the Ohio River Valley Participatory Fund (ORVPF), which provides grants to nonprofit groups that are addressing environmental, health, democracy, justice, movement-building, and economic development goals in OH, PA, and WV communities impacted by current or anticipated fossil fuel industry activities. I am pleased to announce that we just opened our Spring 2026 grant round for general operating support grants, and I thought that you or other organizations that you work with might be interested in applying. The RFP, which includes the application questions and instructions for applying, is  available via the ORVPF websiteApplications are due by Monday, February 2nd at 11:59 p.m

We are also holding an optional information session Thursday, January 22nd 11 am -12 pm. If you or others would like to learn more or have questions, please register here


If you have general questions about the Fund, about your organization’s eligibility, or if you need accommodations in order to apply (e.g., help via phone, translation services), please contact ORVPF@nonprofit-partners.org. If you need technical assistance with the grant application system, please contact Mark Keim at mkeim@nonprofit-partners.org.


Please feel free to share this opportunity with other organizations or groups that you think might be interested!

Happy holidays,
Shannon
