The Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies (ICJS) has awarded four 2025 Interreligious Capacity-Building Grants to alumni of the ICJS Justice Leaders Fellowship. Funded by the T. Rowe Price Foundation, these grants are designed to inspire, equip, and support nonprofit and community leaders as they launch new interreligious initiatives within their spheres of influence.
Each grant provides up to $2,200 to Justice Leaders Fellowship alumni whose projects reflect a commitment to bridging religious divides in service of the common good. The grants aim to help leaders take meaningful risks and put their interreligious vision into action.
2025 Grant Awardees Include:
No Boundaries Coalition will use their grant to create the Salaam Lounge Virtual Network—an interreligious online platform for faith-based organizations to promote events, fundraise, and share resources, including a newsletter and community calendar. A featured initiative is Souls to the Polls, a public event that offers transportation between houses of worship and early voting sites.
Baltimore Bike Party will launch the Wheels of Unity Project, a series of monthly bike rides that foster interreligious dialogue and collaboration across faith communities. Some rides will conclude with service projects, all developed in partnership with local organizations.
