Programs
1 program
Resource redistribution program:resist maintains a vigorous grantmaking program that distributes funds across the united states each year.resist funds activist organizing, cultural organizing, resilience building, and educational work within movements for social change - concentrating on support for organizations that do not have access to more traditional sources of funds. As a result, resist's funding priorities include groups with an annual budget of $150,000 or less and projects that encourage people to take action, rather than merely disseminate information or perform social services. Grant decisions are made by current or past grantees who sit on resist's grant-making panel and are made in accordance with resist's funding priorities. Targeted grantmaking programs include: general support - organizations that meet resist's funding criteria may apply for a one-year general support grant. Resist provides funds for general support as a means of enabling grantees to build infrastructure and capacity while engaged in ongoing social justice activism. Accessibility funding - resist is committed to supporting projects that enable all people to participate in the movement for justice and liberation. Resist will fund the additional costs of making projects or events more accessible to community members with specific accessibility needs. Organizations that meet resist's funding criteria may apply for a one-year accessibility grants. Multi-year funding - after carefully considering how to maximize its impact in building capacity and supporting the long-term work of movements for social change, resist initiated a multi-year funding program in 2001. Multi-year grants cover a three-year period and are designed to provide general support to eligible grantee organizations.rapid response funding resist offers a $1,000 rapid response grant to better meet the needs of frontline groups and organizations. This grant is for groups looking to: imagine and build: for groups seeking financial support with training, consultation, healing, cultural work, conflict resolution, and/or restructuring. Resist and respond: for groups seeking to respond to unforeseen and timely political opportunities with organizing and/or cultural interventions.storytelling program:resist's storytelling program amplifies the stories of our grantees in their resistance and reimagining of this world. We do this principally through our online and social media presence.online and social media the resist website (www.resist.org) provides an array of resources to grantees, donors, and colleagues. Resist utilizes email communication with a few thousand subscribers, as well as facebook, twitter, and instagram to provide timely analysis of emergent as well as ongoing political issues.
