ABOUT THE FBANC COMMUNITY GRANT
In 2020, FBANC introduced its inaugural FBANC Community Grant, which awarded $2,500 to a San Francisco Bay Area non-profit to further goals focused on helping the Filipinx and/or Filipinx American community. Last year, FBANC renamed the FBANC Community Grant to the William R. Tamayo Community Grant, in honor of William R. Tamayo, one of the founding members of FBANC who has dedicated his entire legal career to serving others. During its 42nd year and under the theme of FBANC for All, FBANC reaffirms its commitment to community and honors its dedication to providing space for all members and community. FBANC is thrilled to offer the William R. Tamayo Community Grant for a third year with an increased award of $3,500. FBANC recognizes that we are part of a collective effort to raise Filipinx voices and champion our presence where we remain relegated to the margins. We cannot do it alone. We hope to give to inspiring organizations to launch a stronger future together.
Thank you for your interest in the FBANC Community Grant. We look forward to supporting you in your service.
