Can two or more organizations submit a joint proposal?
CCHE is designed to support local, community-based organizing and policy advocacy groups with a successful track record of at least two years in community organizing and policy advocacy in communities of color. As a result, new collaborations coming together with the sole purpose of applying for these funds will not have the track record of work together to meet this requirement. However, coalitions with a centralized structure and track record of work that meets the organizing and policy advocacy requirements are eligible. Grants will only be awarded to one entity and that institution will be solely responsible for meeting the requirements of the grant. These measures are designed to increase accountability and oversight mechanisms for the grant but are not meant to discourage coalition building, subcontractor relationships or other traditional mechanisms of building community support and partnerships for proposed policy initiatives.
