Direct Action Visionary Grants

The APF Direct Action Visionary Grants seek to fund innovative interventions, based on psychological knowledge, that directly address pressing needs of communities.

Research is critical to advancing the field of psychology, but communities also need care right now. APF is uniquely positioned to accomplish both. Through APF Direct Action Visionary Grants, we are particularly interested in supporting communities and populations dealing with prejudice, bias, intolerance, and all forms of bigotry including racism, antisemitism, homophobia, and misogyny.

Projects should support APF’s four Visionary Priorities:
- Serve Marginalized Communities
- End Prejudice & Stigma
- Prevent Violence
- Explore Mind-Body Health Connections

Projects must:

- Be clearly supported by evidence-based psychological principle
- Have demonstrated competence and capacity to execute the proposed work
