Amidst the charged anticipation of 2024 Election Day, the Groundswell Action Fund is spotlighting the remarkable leaders who have shattered ceilings and forged new frontlines for their communities. These leaders epitomize the essence of BOLD leadership, infusing our democracy with the vibrancy of inclusion and intersectionality.
Your support equips Black, Indigenous, trans, and gender-expansive grassroots leaders, helping them not only survive but thrive in the face of constant challenges.
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
