Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training (GIFT) is a multiracial organization that promotes the connection between fundraising, social justice and movement-building. We believe that how groups are funded is as important to achieving their goals as how the money is spent, and that building community support is central to long-term social change. We provide training, resources and analysis to strengthen organizations, with an emphasis on those focused on social justice and based in communities of color.

The Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training (GIFT) provides training and resources to strengthen organizations, with an emphasis on those focused on social justice and based in communities of color. In 2018, GIFT organized the Money for Our Movements national conference.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

IRS990/MissionDesc0The Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training (GIFT) is a multiracial organization that promotes the connection between fundraising, social justice and movement-building. We believe that how groups are funded is as important to achieving their goals as how the money is spent, and that building community support is central to long-term social change. We provide training, resources and analysis to strengthen organizations, with an emphasis on those focused on social justice and based in communities of color.
