Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Democratizing philanthropy project gives organizations addressing the systemic issues facing our nation the ability to build a powerful, lasting revenue stream and network of engaged activists and donors they can rely on. Specifically, we work to help organizations test out and build new approaches to earning revenue; ensure vulnerable organizations have more power, have more flexibility in how to spend those resources, and respond more nimbly and rapidly to critical needs as they emerge; expand the small donor apparatus to grassroots, nonprofits, historically excluded frontline organizations; and convert national interest in racial and social justice into long-term financial strength for chronically underfunded and historically neglected organizations.

Democratizing philanthropy project partners with movement-building organizations to build sustainable, independent, and recurring revenue streams that advance social justice and progressive causes.
