This is the third year Mockingbird has offered these Finch Funds, identifying an array of smaller requests that could make a big difference, and funding them quickly. These newest grants support the following programs at schools, community centers, and non-profit organizations in 12 states. We pulled all requests for $2K or less from our Round 30 grant inquiries - ushered them through an expedited due diligence review, and are now announcing 13 grants totaling $17,800, in advance of Round 30 grants, which will be announced June 15th.
