Here is today’s featured foundation.

The Frost Foundation

Website: https://www.frostfound.org/

Mission & Purpose: To promote positive, lasting change in Louisiana and New Mexico. The foundation supports organizations that address critical human rights, education, and environmental issues, encouraging self-reliance and creativity.

Broad Funding Guidelines: Grantmaking is strictly limited to the states of Louisiana and New Mexico. They have two distinct grant cycles per year (deadlines in June and December). They prefer to fund innovative programs that can serve as models for other communities. They explicitly do not fund individuals or political activities. They are interested in projects that address urgent, emerging needs with the potential for broad impact.

Featured Opportunity: Their interest in "Human Rights" and "Civil Liberties" is a unique niche. They provide grant funding to organizations working to protect the rights of marginalized populations, improve access to justice, and advocate for systemic reform in two states with high poverty rates.

Recommendation: An advocacy group or legal aid organization in New Mexico or Louisiana that is working on systemic policy change or protecting the rights of vulnerable communities.
