Program areas at Groundswell Action Fund

Groundswell Action Fund makes grants and provides staff technical assistance to nonprofit organizations and movement leaders who are paving the road to liberation and harnessing a broader strategy of transformation and power building through civic engagement. While we, and our grantee partners, understand the importance of winning policy fights, the long-term prize is creating and sustaining a truly inclusive, participatory democracy with leaders who come from and reflect our communities and are rooted in progressive values of interconnectedness, structural inclusion, an economy for the common good, and liberation.
Groundswell Action Fund participates actively in 10 donor networks, in an effort to educate funders about the reproductive justice movement and to raise the visibility of our grantees. Staff make presentations at dozens of meetings and events annually, and regularly host educational events for the philanthropic community, to uplift grantees and to create opportunities for them to build relationships with funders.
