Join Our Seeds of Change Campaign

This year is Grassroots International’s 40th anniversary, and one of our goals for the year is to welcome 40 new members to our Seeds of Change community- people who make monthly, recurring gifts to us to help sustain and grow our work. We are hoping you will be one of these new members!

Committing to resource the work we do as a movement support organization on an ongoing basis makes it possible for us to commit to our partners for the long term. This is a key element of our praxis Solidarity Philanthropy- an approach rooted in the value of grantmaking not being short-term or transactional, but rather a component of steadfast, committed, reciprocal relationship of radical accompaniment and partnership.

Will you help us reach our goal, and join our Seeds of Change community today? We are sending Grassroots International stickers to everyone who joins!
