ZSR’s State-Level Systemic Change Strategy supports state, regional and local organizations, coalitions, or collaboratives that are working to achieve systemic change at the state level within and across the following priority areas:  

  • Advancing Public Education 
  • Fostering a Healthy and Sustainable Environment 
  • Promoting Social and Economic Justice 
  • Strengthening Democracy 

ZSR recognizes that each of these four areas intersect in multiple ways and will look for approaches that not only strengthen each, but also work across them.​ 

If you are interested in applying for funding, we encourage you to read our State-Level Systemic Change Strategy page, Frequently Asked Questions and Rarely Funded Activities to determine whether your work fits into ZSR’s State-Level Systemic Change Strategy.
