JOY FUNDS IN ACTION MICRO-GRANTS RAISE VISIBLITY OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS’ WORK rooted. | issue 1
Annie honored neighbors who are doing the work daily by placing resources directly in their hands through micro grants. The gathering centered care, recognition, and trust, acknowledging that meaningful change is already happening in kitchens, classrooms, blocks, and living rooms across the city. Rather than spotlighting large programs, the moment focused on people whose consistent presence and commitment often go unseen. The micro grants served both as practical support and as affirmation that their labor, relationships, and leadership matter. The celebration reflected a shared belief that investment does not have to be large to be impactful. When communities are resourced with intention and respect, the ripple effects extend far beyond a single day.
