Hi there,

Are you a dues-paying alumni member of Resource Generation? Do you want to be on the alumni listserv? I am embarking on a process to recruit dues-paying alumni members to this Google Group who are not currently on it, but may want to be. If you ARE a dues-paying alumni member of RG and want to be on the alumni listserv, please fill out this form.

Not a dues paying member but want to be? RG is over 95% funded by its members. Membership dues = wealthy people organizing happening = more money to movements (RG moved $120M to movements just this year!). Renew your dues here!

There has been an alumni listserv in existence for many years but most people on there are not current RG dues-paying members. The protocol for that listserv is shifting so that it will be a space for dues-paying alumni members. This is in an effort to increase digital security and the quality of organizing facilitated by our internal communications channels, and to make sure that alumni who want to be connected to each other are indeed connected.

RG remains focused on organizing 18-35 year olds in the top 10%. Organizing alumni is a strategy we could prioritize if we grew our budget (something I'm personally passionate about on both fronts!). In the meantime, alumni are asked to resource RG's work (and do! about 40% of our budget is funded by alumni) because we know alumni believe in the power of RG, have been transformed by RG, and understand that movement work is multigenerational.

Where does RG currently point people over 35 if they're looking for more active organizing community?

Some of our chapters maintain a network of RG alumni and other 35+ people with wealth in the area who are down to connect one on one or who organize various local programming. If you are located near one of our chapters, feel free to let me know and I can let you know if there are RG alumni organizing near you.
You also may be interested in joining an intergenerational donor network that is part of the same ecosystem as RG. We recommend looking into Solidaire, Families Organizing to Resource Movements, Donors of Color Network, the Women Donors Network, Movement Voter Project, Democracy Alliance, or Threshold Foundation.
I can also share this collection of resources we’ve put together on land justice, reparations, building cross-class relationships and the equitable distribution of wealth, land and power.
We also encourage people over 35 to check out our Redistribution Pledge and Redistribution Guidelines to support you in making your redistribution plan.

And remember! If you are a dues-paying alumni member of RG and want to be on the alumni listserv, please fill out this form.

In solidarity,

Valeriya
