Building on the legacy of the Fund for Democratic Communities and the Funding Exchange Network, we are committed to BIPOC communities and affecting meaningful philanthropic change at a systemic level across local, state and regional lines. Drawing on the rich history of local organizing, we strengthen our approach through political education, systematic change-centered learning, and donor organizing. By connecting a new generation of organizers and donors dedicated to supporting the self-determination of BIPOC, we aim to empower individuals and contribute to a more equitable future.

Challenge dominant narratives and promote alternative perspectives that center marginalized voices.
Forge United Fronts:
Build strong coalitions and alliances to amplify our impact and achieve shared goals.

Dismantle systems of cis-heteropatriarchy and white supremacy to create a more just and equitable society.
