The Higher Hope Foundation's 'Empower' Grant is a financial assistance program directed exclusively to nonprofit organizations that provide direct support to victims of violent crime or missing person cases. Qualifying crimes include homicide, attempted homicide, sexual assault, domestic violence, kidnapping, human trafficking, and missing person cases. This is not a grant for individual artists or for creative projects that merely engage with these themes; it is a funding mechanism for established 501(c)(3) entities whose core mission is victim assistance. Applicants must demonstrate 501(c)(3) status via an EIN or UEI number, show that their work directly impacts victims of the specified crimes, and submit a project proposal with budget estimates at the time of application. The foundation allocates up to $5,000 per applicant or project, though larger requests may be considered on a case-by-case basis. All funding decisions rest with the foundation. For creative practitioners whose practice is embedded within a qualifying nonprofit—whether through art therapy, documentary storytelling, or community-based memorial projects—this grant represents a potential resource for sustaining that work. However, the grant is not open to individual artists, and the application must come from the nonprofit itself. The absence of a fee and the clear, narrow eligibility criteria make this a focused opportunity for organizations operating in this sensitive field.
