About Us
In 2020, Funding For Social Change was founded to support nonprofits and grassroots organizations which are led by and for underserved communities, including people of color, women, trans and queer people, people with disabilities, low-income people, and those without access to food, housing, and education. Since then, this collective of grant writers, creatives, and consultants raised over $26 million in grants for over 60 organizations. Through our capacity-building cohorts with funder and nonprofit partners, we have served over 30 organizations.
Our aim has been to reduce the barriers faced by grassroots social justice movements related to accessing funding. Our sliding scale consulting services have supported community leaders and organizers to tap into and navigate the Nonprofit Industrial Complex. We also create and share widely our free resources such as our free social justice grant database, grant application template library, templates, guides, and webinars.
Note: Our Resource Library is currently under construction and will be available again soon.
