Solidarity Giving grants approximately $10 million a year to allies who are working across the country.
As opportunities arise, we partner with select national organizations to identify offices and affiliates under significant pressure. We prioritize grants to communities or states working on timely issues or where a boost of support can create positive policy change. We offer flexible funding so organizations can serve their communities as they see best.
Partnerships include:
Solidarity Giving was launched in 2017 to support and defend America’s civic values.
