Do Grassroots Grants usually go to smaller organizations?

Yes.The Grassroots Grants program was established to give smaller organizations an opportunity to compete for MMT funds. Many of these organizations are without sophisticated grantwriters and sometimes even without paid staff. In some cases, their Grassroots Grant proposals are the first time these organizations have sought funds from a foundation. Although some Grassroots Grants have been made to large well-established organizations, that is the exception and MMT still primarily views the program as a way to help smaller organizations.
