About the Local Data for Equitable Communities Program

The Urban Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) will select 30 nonprofits to each receive a $50,000 grant to use data to improve local conditions and help residents live their healthiest lives.

The program helps nonprofits use data to catalyze local action and address inequities in the physical, economic, and social conditions of a place. These include housing, transportation, community safety, climate and environment, the built environment, and other local conditions. Grants are awarded annually.

Subscribe to funding alerts from RWJF to be notified when applications open in 2026.
