Grassroots Social Change Organizations Supported

RESIST
RESIST provides grants and loans to grassroots groups throughout the U.S. that are engaged in activist organizing and educational work within movements for social change. RESIST supports strategies that build community, encourage collaborations with other organizations, increase skills and access to resources, and produce leadership from the constituency being most directly affected. High priority is given to groups that fall outside of mainstream funding sources. A sample of RESIST's interests include: community organizing and anti-racism projects, economic and environmental justice, civil rights, progressive media, and peace/anti-militarism. The remaining 2009 application deadlines for general support grants, accessibility grants, and loans are August 7 and October 2. Emergency grant requests may be submitted at any time. Visit RESIST's website for details on each of the grant programs.
