After a protracted leadership transition, Groundswell is thrilled to announce that Yamani Yansá Hernandez has become our permanent CEO, bringing over 25 years of experience in organizational development, executive leadership, and reproductive justice!
We are a channel into which individual donors and foundations can pour resources to reach vital work at the grassroots.
Groundswell Action Fund provides unrestricted general support grants that allow organizations to build their infrastructure and avoid the harm caused by boom-and-bust electoral funding that only shows up to elect certain candidates during a key election year.
Groundswell Action Fund stands in the gap for organizations, providing them robust infrastructure support to build their capacity.
When we started, we had a $50,000 grant and one staffer. Groundswell’s early-stage development is critical to creating more of us. The returns may not be immediate but when they pour in, they will be exponential and will transform our movement, creating new leaders and stronger women-of-color-led organizations.Tram Nguyen
