Transformative Organizing Grants

The Transformative Organizing Grants, funded by the Arch Community Fund, aim to bolster grassroots movements advocating for systemic change. These grants, ranging from $15,000 to $25,000, prioritize organizations with 501(c)(3) status and an annual budget under $1 million. The focus is on empowering community leadership through anti-capitalist solutions, promoting intersectionality, and addressing immediate needs while fostering long-term structural change. Eligible groups are encouraged to apply for support in their transformative organizing efforts.

Grants support transformative organizing for systemic change with explicit articulation of the following values: resistance; community leadership; transformative, anti-capitalist solutions and intersectionality.
The Fund seeks to support grassroots strategies that meet immediate needs and are part of a strategy for long term structural change.
