This month has been huge for Groundwork thanks to you, team. As you know, I started Groundwork Project because I still believe that sustained, year-round investments in local community organizers are the best way to remedy injustice, build power in historically excluded communities – and win elections.
Our first three official Groundwork partner organizations are that mission in action. That’s why my team is trying to raise another $15,000 by midnight, tomorrow. Can I count on you?
Your contribution today will help us continue to support groups like United Women of Color, the Black Voter Impact Initiative, and the Mississippi Workers’ Center and make early investments in 2022 strategic plans. Here’s a snapshot of how your dollars will be put to work:
- Support our grant program that is unrestricted and a multi-year commitment. With the appropriate resources, we are providing an immediate $25,000 grant to all current partners.
- Secure the resources to provide any strategic guidance, tools, trainings, and finance support in key moments that our partners may need.
- Lay a firm foundation for our internal Groundwork planning, travel, and staffing needs for 2022 to make us the strongest partner possible.
So, are you ready to invest in areas typically overlooked and under-resourced? Tomorrow night is our first budget deadline post-partner announcement. This is the time where your dollars could go the furthest.
I hope you’re in.
Joe
