November Grants for Human Services and Social Welfare

November brings a cluster of deadlines for nonprofits working in human services and social welfare. Whether you're focused on youth development, food security, health equity, or community infrastructure, the funders below are actively seeking partners who understand their communities and can show measurable impact. These opportunities range from small community grants to six-figure commitments, and several are explicitly open to grassroots organizations.

TEEEM Foundation: Grant for International Nonprofits and Charitable Organizations

TEEEM Foundation funds sustainable, community-led solutions in education, health, empowerment, entrepreneurship, and community development. The program offers three funding tiers based on project scale and organizational maturity, so whether you're running a local pilot or a regional initiative, there's likely a fit. Organizations in Africa and beyond are eligible. Deadline November 1. Apply here

W.M. Keck Foundation: Grant for Southern California Nonprofits Serving Youth and Underserved Communities

If your work touches arts, education, health, or civic services for youth and families in Los Angeles County, the Keck Foundation prioritizes innovation and systemic change. They fund only multi-year grants with requests of at least $100,000, so this is for organizations ready to scale. Deadline November 1. Apply here

Owensboro Health: Mini-Grant for Community Health Nonprofits and Public Entities

Small grants can move fast. Owensboro Health offers $2,500 awards for projects addressing community health needs and social determinants: food security, mental health, physical activity, healthy aging, and basic needs. They give priority to collaborative projects, so if you're working with a partner organization or public entity, this is worth the application. Deadline November 1. Apply here

TEEEM Foundation: Grant for Community-Focused Nonprofits

TEEEM's second program funds nonprofit and charitable organizations creating sustainable, community-driven solutions in education, youth development, health, economic opportunity, and community infrastructure. Like their international program, it offers three funding tiers and seeks partners who co-create solutions with the communities they serve. Deadline November 1. Apply here

Montana Community Foundation: Grant for Nonprofits and Government Entities in Eastern Montana

If you're working in Rosebud, Custer, or Fallon counties or on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, the Montana Community Foundation takes a deliberately broad approach: they fund what your community needs, whether that's equipment, facility improvements, or services. Both 501(c)(3)s and government entities are eligible; individuals and for-profits can apply through a fiscal sponsor. Deadline November 1. Apply here

Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development: Grant for Food Retailers in Food-Insecure Communities

This grant targets food retailers (for-profit and nonprofit) working in Maryland communities with high food insecurity. Up to $150,000 supports equipment, facility upgrades, SNAP/EBT infrastructure, vehicles for fresh food delivery, and other capital needs. If you operate or partner with a food retailer, this is a direct path to infrastructure funding. Deadline November 2. Apply here

Chartercare Foundation: Grant for Rhode Island Health and Wellness Nonprofits

Chartercare funds structured wellness, nutrition education, diabetes prevention, and obesity prevention programs in Rhode Island, with preference for disadvantaged populations. They want to see how you'll identify, treat, and track outcomes. New programs addressing critical gaps or substantial expansions of proven programs are both welcome. Deadline November 2. Apply here
