Dear Friend,

I'm pleased to share with you our 2019 Annual Report [ [link removed] ] titled "Solidarity Philanthropy." Solidarity Philanthropy is about meaningfully connecting donors and activists, like you, with movement organizations, decolonizing philanthropy, and advancing transformative partnerships with movements for collective liberation.

In our 2019 Annual Report [ [link removed] ], you will read examples of the impact of Solidarity Philanthropy around the world, as our courageous partners resist relentless oppression, envision a world based on justice and equity, and build sustainable alternatives.


Grassroots International's support for powerful and effective global movements was stronger in 2019 than at any other time in our history - thanks to our dedicated supporters and funders. In 2019, Grassroots International's grantmaking:

* *Provided 186 grants totaling $3.1 million* to progressive organizations in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Palestine, India, and the USA.

* *Funded 13 environmental and social justice organizations building power and a Just Transformation in Puerto Rico* from the Building Equity and Alignment for Impact (BEAI) Fund.

* *Deepened our Strengthening Grassroots Feminist Movement Collaborative*, a global collaboration to support feminist organizations in countries dominated by right-wing governments, including the US.

* *Co-organized a donor-activist delegation to Brazil* and a Learning Immersion in Puerto Rico to strengthen internationalism.

We are inspired by both our new supporters and long-time donor partners, and grateful that you choose Grassroots International as your go-to place to put your global justice values to work and as your bridge to fierce and resilient social movements.

In solidarity,

Chung-Wha Hong
Executive Director
