RESIST funds organizations that are actively
part of a movement for social change and demonstrate an understanding of the
connections among oppressions. Guidelines.
RESIST gives small ($4,000 maximum) but timely grants and loans to grassroots
groups engaged in activist organizing and educational work within movements for
social change. They support strategies that build community, encourage
collaborations with other organizations, increase skills and/or 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 because they are considered to be too "radical." To
this end, RESIST supports both ongoing or new projects that address social
and/or economic injustice.
A sample of RESIST 's interests include: community organizing and
anti-racism projects; economic justice; environmental protection; the struggle
for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights; health, AIDS and disability
issues; labor; progressive media and culture resources; Native Americans/native
peoples; peace/anti-militarism; prisoners; women; and youth.
Proposal Deadlines: occur every eight weeks. Guidelines.
RESIST offers 4 types of grant: 1.) general support grants; 2.) technical assistance grants;
3.) emergency grants; and 4.) accessibility grants.
