GRANTEES

Contributions to the Emergent Fund provide urgently needed resources for movements at the front lines of resistance. In 2017, our activist-led Advisory Council approved over $1 million in rapid-response grants and is continuing to approve grants on a frequent and rolling basis. We are honored to partner with the following organizations and provide general support grants ranging from $10,000 to $50,000. 

In this time of unprecedented action and engagement by ordinary Americans, the Emergent Fund also wants to contribute to small scale projects just getting off the ground. For these modest needs we will also on occasion give "seed grants" ranging from $3,000 to $5,000.

For more information on our grantees, please write to us at info@emergentfund.net. Donors will receive regular email updates.
