About Growing Change

Groundswell works to fund social movements, while also building a longer-term Growing Change fund. We encourage people with extra money who believe in grassroots social change to get serious about funding movements. The problems facing our communities and our lives are profound, but Groundswell has deep faith in the ability of people, when supported, to solve the problems they face in their lives and in the knowledge to achieve justice and equality already within us.

This year, Groundswell made our third round of Growing Change funding available in one-time grants of $10,000 to $100,000 for brave, audacious, courageous projects led by Indigenous and Black communities. Applicants will be informed of our decisions in late Spring 2023.

WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2023 CYCLE.

PLEASE CHECK BACK IN FALL 2023 FOR NEWS ABOUT OUR NEXT GRANTING CYCLE.
