The Solidarity Fund Grant

The Solidarity Fund Grant, part of the Black Feminist Fund, aims to empower Black feminist movements by providing essential resources. Acknowledging the historical underfunding of these movements, the fund supports groups led by Black women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals. It focuses on solidarity efforts that foster collaboration and joint campaigns, enabling activists to drive social change. This initiative is crucial for advancing justice, self-determination, and equity within communities, ensuring that Black feminist visions are amplified and sustained.

Black Feminist Fund
Black feminist activists are changing the world. Yet, Black feminist movements are among the most under-funded.
The purpose of the Black Feminist Fund is to significantly increase the resources available to Black feminist movements. When Black feminist groups have the resources they deserve, they are strengthened to transform societies. Moving resources over the long term to Black feminist movements unlocks the power and potential of this change. We make grants to Black feminist groups that have bold visions, are using innovative strategies and taking daring action towards self-determination, justice, solidarity and equity.
We provide all of our grantmaking through two participatory grantmaking Funds:

• The Sustain Fund and the Solidarity Fund.
• The Solidarity Fund

The Solidarity Fund is focused on resourcing solidarity efforts, such as exchanges, spaces of co-creation/strategizing and cross-learning, convening, joint campaigns, solidarity delegations and other similar activities.
