Growing Leaders to Build Change

Individuals

Available in Español

Our individual grantmaking is designed to honor and sustain the impact of Asheville’s community leaders.

We’ve learned that individuals, who often work outside of organizations and traditional funding structures, are indispensable parts of the social change ecosystem. We fund individuals working in wide-ranging community efforts – from artistic interventions to grassroots organizing, from the creation of healing spaces to leading nonprofit, governmental, and private entity collaborations. 

Tzedek Impact Awards

The Tzedek Impact Awards are designed to honor individuals who have engaged in systems change or community healing work in the Asheville region using the wisdom gained by directly navigating systems of oppression. BIPOC, LGBTQ and Jewish individuals are encouraged to apply.

Each Tzedek Impact Awardee will receive $3,000 in recognition of their past unpaid work focused on addressing one or more systems of injustice including:

  • White nationalism
  • Anti-Semitism
  • Homophobia or heterosexism
  • Transphobia
  • White supremacy or racism
  • Xenophobia

Tzedek Brilliance Awards

Note: All funds set aside for the Tzedek Brilliance Awards have been distributed. Throughout 2020, we are completing a strategic planning process, which draws on the results of our community research and our assessment of pilot program. Announcements about future grantmaking, including rounds of the Brilliance Awards will be announced via our newsletter.

Tzedek (pronounced “tz” as in ritz, TZEH-dek) is the Hebrew word meaning justice, which is at the heart of our mission.
