Organizing Grants

Our application process is temporarily disabled while we upgrade our website. Check back in mid March, 2026. Organizing Grants are only available to organizations and projects that are based in the United States.

The maximum grant award is $10,000. Most grant awards will be around $5000. Occasionally we will consider requests for multiple-year funding.

What We Fund

  • WE DO FUND newly-founded and existing organizations that are engaged in activist organizing. We prefer groups that don’t have much foundation funding or other traditional streams of income.
  • WE DO FUND 501c3s, groups with a 501c3 fiscal sponsor, and organizations with a bank account in their name.
  • WE DO FUND projects as well as general operating costs. We’re looking for creative and bold ideas that have a specific goal.
  • WE DO FUND projects and organizations dedicated to fighting for systemic change, rather than personal/individual support.

What We Do Not Fund

  • WE DON’T FUND individuals, or their projects (we fund group efforts).
  • WE DON’T FUND legal or direct services, healing or therapy work, or mutual aid that’s not a small component of the grant request.
  • WE DON’T FUND projects or organizations with operating budgets exceeding $250,000. 
  • WE DON’T FUND lobbying or political campaigns.
  • WE DON’T FUND art, films, or dance projects that aren’t a small component of organizing.
  • WE DON’T FUND tuition or scholarships.
  • WE DON’T FUND university supported projects.
