US Programs Grants
Grants to small US nonprofits delivering food security, healthcare, livelihood and community development services. The community development category explicitly names domestic violence intervention, at-risk youth programmes, special-needs inclusivity, senior programming and nonprofit capacity building — a viable route for a community agency partnered with a social work researcher to fund service delivery and the capacity to evaluate it.

- Eligibility
- Applicant must be an IRS-registered 501(c)(3) public charity in good standing, active for three or more full calendar years in the United States, with programming exclusively within the contiguous 48 states. An annual cash budget under $3 million is strongly desired but not disqualifying. Funding for direct religious activities or services is excluded. A university cannot be the applicant — a social work researcher would participate as the evaluation partner to a grantee agency. Organisations must first contact the IRUSA Grants Team to discuss alignment before registering on the FLUXX platform
