Important message from the Groundswell Board:
For the first time in our existence, the board of the Groundswell Community Justice Trust Fund is taking time to do some necessary internal restructuring and regrouping to ensure ongoing sustainability. As a result, we will not be running our regular granting cycle this Spring and will be piloting our Movement Momentum grants, with a number of groups we have worked with before.
We expect to reopen our Annual Grants cycle this fall. You can contact us in September for more information.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. We know how tough it is out there with the search for funding, and we are committed to continue our work in supporting movement building and growth.
This year, we co-hosted our third public webinar with Resource Movement, featuring Elene Lam (Butterfly), Deena Ladd (Toronto Workers’ Action Centre), and Kimalee Phillip (Groundswell), who shared powerful insights on growing our movements through radical giving. You can still watch it here.
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.
