Many of our grantees are organizers who struggle to access mainstream philanthropy because of who they are and the high-risk, power-challenging work that they take on.

Our rapid response funding acts as both a safety net and incubator for grantee innovations and life-affirming organizing experiments including political art, direct actions, alternative structures.

Building power on uncertain, often hostile terrain requires nimble, adaptive tools and strategies. People-powered movements require both sparks and sustained sustenance.

Rapid response funding as one essential power-building tool in the long arc of social transformation that works hand-in-hand with capacity building.
