"We believe that social, economic, and ecological justice requires a deep transformation in systems, structures, and culture. Social movements are necessary to create this kind of transformation. Social movements are made up of people organized collectively with leadership from frontline impacted communities, who analyze the root causes of injustice, develop a vision for solutions that address these root causes, and take bold actions to make these visions a reality. Solidarity with and between movements is necessary to achieve this vision. Based on this belief, we focus on funding social movements through solidarity philanthropy."

strategies:
accompany social movements through long-term partnerships
form partnerships with our funders
Grantmaking
Organizational health and well-being: Investing in our people, systems, and culture
