As part of its Framework for Action, The Kroger Co. Foundation has revealed the recipients of its Racial Equity Fund Built It Together grant challenge — an initiative awarding $3 million to help build more equitable and inclusive communities. The foundation invited 14 organizations to apply for up to $1 million in funding through the Build It Together grant challenge, which welcomed organizations to submit proposals aimed at positively uplifting, supporting and impacting communities of color. A panel of judges, including Kroger associates and leaders, external partners, and local community foundations, evaluated the proposals and selected four finalists that collectively will receive $3 million to accelerate their visions.
