The 2025 Groundswell Annual Grant application process is now open!!

Groundswell’s goal is to increase the capacity of organizations struggling for social change that challenges the dominant, oppressive structures of our political, social, and economic systems. Grants will be directed towards member-driven, grassroots initiatives or organizations that face difficulty raising funds due to the nature of their work. This year we particularly want to encourage groups doing Palestinian solidarity and liberation organizing to apply.

Application Deadline: Sunday, February 16, 2025

Grants will go to projects and organizations with a vision of transforming society by fighting systemic injustices. We are excited to review applications from $1,000 to $10,000 that fit our criteria. Please note that applications for any amount up to $10,000 are strongly encouraged.

In 2023, we were so pleased to co-host an important conversation with Resource Movement’s Toronto chapter, featuring speakers Naomi Klein, Maya Menezes, and Groundswell trustee Mostafa Henaway, about the importance of growing our movements through radical philanthropy. You can watch this panel discussion here.

Please make a donation to Groundswell! Your money has the potential to fund both existing and new organizations and projects, build infrastructure for long-term organizing, and create new ways to discuss and disseminate political ideas. Let's harness our collective resources to support social change.
