The Council’s Center for Inclusion and Belonging is issuing a call for our Bridging Communities Projects. We hope to crowdsource the best ideas and activities in use across the U.S. that bring people together to work toward the common good while building relationships that help bridge group differences.
Whether you have a food bank, community garden, veterans' group, refugee resettlement program, or something else entirely, we invite you to share your project with us. You may be eligible for funding or a fellowship.
