Groundswell Action Fund

Menu

Movement Approved, Donor and Funder Supported

An endorsement expresses confidence in our Blueprints and  Groundswell’s remarkable model:

  1. A foundation created and run by a staff of women of color and transgender and gender non-conforming people of color who are former grassroots organizers; and
  2. A giving strategy shaped by advisors and board members who include some of the most important movement leaders of our time.

"If there’s one funder we can count on to continue to fund us even as our community speaks its most courageous truth to power, it’s Groundswell."
