BNI Members — who do you know making a difference for children in our community? 💙

The BNI Foundation Grant Cycle opens Monday, August 10, and this is a great opportunity to connect local nonprofits supporting children and education with potential funding.

One of the most powerful things we can do as BNI members is use our networks to create opportunities—not just for ourselves and each other, but for our communities.

👉 Think about the nonprofits you know, support, volunteer with, or have worked alongside. Could one of them benefit from a BNI Foundation grant?

Applications will be accepted August 10 through September 18.

Please share this opportunity and help us get it in front of organizations doing incredible work for children!

Every grant tells a story. Every story begins with an opportunity.

The BNI Foundation exists to support nonprofits that are creating brighter futures for children through education.

Our next grant cycle opens Monday, August 10, and applications will be accepted through September 18.

Throughout this week, we'll be highlighting the inspiring work of recent grant recipients and the lives they're impacting through BNI Foundation funding.

We can't wait to introduce you to these incredible organizations—and we're excited to see who will become part of our next chapter of impact.
