Intercultural Harmony Initiative, Laura Jane Musser Fund. Deadline: 12 March 2026.
Through the Intercultural Harmony Initiative, the Laura Jane Musser Fund supports projects that promote mutual understanding and cooperation between groups of community members of different cultural backgrounds. Project planning grants up to $5,000 or implementation grants up to $25,000 will be considered. Applications will be accepted online through the Fund’s website from February 12 to March 12, 2026.
Priority is placed on projects that include members of various cultural communities working together on projects with common goals; build positive relationships across cultural lines; engender intercultural harmony, tolerance, understanding, and respect; and enhance intercultural communication, rather than cultural isolation, while at the same time honoring the unique qualities of each culture. Projects must demonstrate: need in the community for the intercultural exchange project; grassroots endorsement by participants across cultural lines, as well as their active participation in planning and implementation of the project;
the ability of the organization to address the challenges of working across the cultural barriers identified by the project; and tangible benefits in the larger community.
NOTE: The geographic areas for this initiative are only Colorado, Hawaii, Minnesota, Wyoming, and limited counties in North Carolina.
