RESIST Funds Progressive Grassroots Groups

Deadline: August 1

RESIST provides grants and loans to grassroots groups engaged in activist organizing and educational work within movements for social change. RESIST supports strategies that build community, encourage collaborations with other organizations, increase skills and access to resources, and produce leadership from the constituency being most directly affected. High priority is given to groups that fall outside of mainstream funding sources. A sample of RESIST's interests include: community organizing and anti-racism projects, economic and environmental justice, civil rights, progressive media, and p eace/anti-militarism. The upcoming application deadlines for general support grants, accessibility grants, and loans are August 1 and October 3, 2008. Emergency grant requests may be submitted at any time.
