How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Civic Engagement Through Coalition Supportmethodology: civic_engagement_coalition_supportBy supporting state-level civic engagement and community organizing coalitions, the fund strengthens grassroots power and collective action, because sustained local leadership and networked movements drive systemic change in justice-related policy and practice.
- Financial Accountability as Leverage for Climate Actionmethodology: financial_accountability_for_climate_actionBy promoting financial transparency and public awareness around fossil fuel investments, the fund pressures private equity firms to divest, because exposing capital flows activates public scrutiny and shifts investor behavior toward climate responsibility.
- Intersectional Power-Building for Systemic Justicemethodology: intersectional_power_buildingBy funding long-term organizational development across climate, gender, and racial justice movements, the fund amplifies marginalized voices and institutions, because intersectional power-building creates more resilient, inclusive, and effective social change ecosystems.
