The upcoming cycle of RALIANCE’s Impact Grant Program marks an important milestone: 10 years of funding programs to prevent sexual harassment, misconduct, and abuse and create safer communities. Over the past 10 years, RALIANCE has learned a great deal about what it means to be a funder and about the needs of our grantees. With the NFL’s generous support, RALIANCE has provided nearly $4 million to organizations to launch or expand initiatives to prevent sexual violence. These 80-plus organizations range in size, geographical location, and programmatic focus and are united in their goal to create safer environments free from sexual harassment, misconduct, and abuse.
In 2026, we decided to accept applications exclusively from prior grantees. Time and again, our prior grantees told us that amidst budget cuts and periods of significant financial need, programs need sustained investment and time to make meaningful progress, learn, and adapt. As the 2026 cohort reaches the final months of their project, we have decided to listen to this call by continuing our sustained investment in prior RALIANCE Impact grantees, increasing funding and extending the award period to two years.
We know the financial needs of programs supporting survivors and preventing sexual abuse are great, and the success of the grantees we’ve invested in only reinforces our desire to see more partners and funders bolstering innovation and growth in the field.
Am I Eligible to Apply?
RALIANCE will only be taking applications from previous RALIANCE grantees, including grantees from our current round. All eligible former RALIANCE grantees will receive instructions on how to apply and submission deadlines.
How Much Will Be Awarded?
This year, we will be awarding all six of our grantees $100,000 for a two-year grant period (January 2027 – December 2028).
We’re immensely proud of the great work our 2026 grantees have done this year, and we look forward to seeing how the increased funds and extended grant period can further support these amazing programs shaping the future of prevention efforts.
RALIANCE is always actively looking to partner with businesses and organizations who want to make a meaningful on-the-ground impact to support survivors and prevent sexual violence. We know greater investment leads to greater impact, and we invite you to join us in supporting this critical work.
