Community Care Awards

The Community Care Awards are microgrant awards honoring BIPOC for grassroots care work.

Recognizing BIPOC labor

Multiply marginalized BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color) have an extensive history of providing communal care and moving everyone towards collective liberation. Unfortunately, this labor often goes unrecognized.

Affect created the Community Care Awards to give thanks to community organizers and carers. We ask people to nominate each other, so that we can serve as a bridge for participants and save nominees some work.
