About
The Executive Office of the Mayor (EOM)’s mission is to improve the quality of life of District residents through advocacy, community outreach, education, and inter-agency coordination. The Mayor's Office of Community Affairs (MOCA) serves as a liaison to the city's diverse communities, ensuring residents' voices are heard and represented. Through MOCA, EOM serves as the liaison between the District Government and various District communities, including, but not limited to the returning citizens community, the Asian and Pacific Islander community, the Latino community, the African community, the African American community, the LGBTQ+ community, the Veterans community, the women’s community, the Caribbean community, and the faith community.1 EOM invites all CBOs that serve these communities and more within the District to apply for this grant to advance the below funding priorities.

The Growth Agenda
1Note: Qualifying organizations may serve all communities, as the D.C. Human Rights Act (D.C. Official Code § 2-1401 et seq) forbids discrimination based on ethnicity. We seek organizations with a proven record of trust within District community, regardless of their client base's breadth or the ethnicities of their leadership and staff.
