Mission & Focus Areas
The coalition’s stated mission is to support a just transition from an extractive to a regenerative economy by building the scale and power of the solidarity economy movement in Black, Indigenous, and working-class communities in every region of the United States.
Its website describes movement resourcing and regranting as part of its work, including the Black Solidarity Economy Fund and the Regional Relationships Fund. The coalition says its Black Solidarity Economy Fund supports Black-led solidarity economy organizing, with major decisions made collectively by its working group. Its 2024 filing states that grants are disbursed through an application process and that grantees report on the use of funds by email at the end of the grant period.
Examples of supported organizations illustrate the range of work represented among grantees. Project South says its mission is to build the foundation for broad-based social justice movements and strengthen community leadership. New Economy Project describes its work as fostering cooperative and community-led development and challenging systems that fuel inequality and poverty. Cleveland Owns says it launches cooperative businesses and organizes campaigns for community control of resources.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, the coalition reported 41 grants totaling $357,138. Grants ranged from $5,500 to $25,750, with a median of $7,000. The largest listed awards included $25,750 to Project South in Atlanta, Georgia; $25,000 to New Economy Project in New York, New York; $16,500 to Fellowship for Intentional Community in Rutledge, Missouri; and $14,000 to US Solidarity Economy Network in Belchertown, Massachusetts. Other listed recipients included Alliance for Global Justice ($13,250), Symbodied ($11,250), Post Growth Institute ($10,000), Cleveland Owns ($10,000), and Beloved Community Incubator ($10,000).
The coalition’s website says the Black Solidarity Economy Fund prioritizes Black-led, Black-serving movement organizations building solidarity economy practices. A page describing its rapid response fund listed eligibility criteria that included coalition membership or prospective membership, an annual organizational budget below $500,000, and an unforeseen area of work due to a crisis. That page said funding was available until December 12, 2025, and that the fund would reopen in 2026; it does not provide a current application cycle or deadline.
