WHAT WE DO
GRANTMAKING PRIORITIES
Promoting Health, Economic & Social Equity
While all people are born with immense potential, some more than others possess resources to help them achieve it. We fund organizations and initiatives in Southern New England that address these inequities by expanding access to basic needs and advancing opportunities for personal growth and economic success. We support efforts to address root causes of inequity and to innovate in creating change. We focus our efforts primarily on uplifting vulnerable youth and women, with a goal to create healthy environments where all people can thrive.
- Support healthy environments for youth (birth–24y) and women in need
- Increase access to mental and behavioral health care, particularly in under-resourced communities
- Enable educational and economic opportunities
- Advance gender and racial equity
- Serve local community members who may lack other support sources
- Address root causes of poverty while providing for basic human needs
We are most interested in grantee partners who seek to transform the conventional ideas and systems that alienate and burden marginalized populations. Together we can foster long-term success, addressing today’s inequities while working to eliminate tomorrow’s.
Apricus Principle only considers funding applications by invitation. We do not accept unsolicited proposals or letters of inquiry.
