The Fall Drive is Coming!
Each Fall & Spring, Resource Generation’s membership & redistribution pledge drives support members in rededicating themselves to the RG community, to our campaign partners, and to each other as co-conspirators. This year’s Fall drive launches on October 17th and wraps on November 21st. In that time, members and staff will leverage the power of the ask – to renew membership (or to become a member) [[link removed]] , to resource our partners [[link removed]] , and to sign the redistribution pledge [[link removed]] as acts of collective power-building.

As of today, over 500 RGers have signed the redistribution pledge to move over $91 million to social movements in 2022! During the Drive, we want to get to $100 million in movement giving pledged this year, and we absolutely can; we also want to raise the remainder of our organizational budget, which is 95% funded by membership contributions from about 1100 members who are asked to move 5% of their overall annual giving to RG, comprising a budget of about $3.9M.
RG is funded by RGers! This is a politically responsible, values-aligned, and sustainable choice. This is why membership asks during Drives are so important in anchoring our work. Though the Fall drive is a month away, right now is an excellent time to rededicate ourselves to this work. This is acutely true this year because of a year-end budget deficit at RG, which our team wants to address sooner rather than later. By being direct with our members about where we’re at, RG can make a transparent and real ask of members to meet our 2022 income goals. We don’t want to manifest a year-end grind for our staff, because we know a false sense of urgency is not inevitable.
This is the time to build momentum towards raising our budget so that our cross-class, multiracial, and extremely badass staff can earn a wage with dignity.
This is the time to follow through on commitments to our campaign partners to make the same thing possible for their teams.
This is the time to meaningfully respond to material conditions of scarcity in movements, exacerbated by inflation and the all-too-common donor behavior [[link removed]] of moving money on December 31st.
This is the time to collectively, wholeheartedly fund movements.
This is time to move membership dues [[link removed]] , resource our campaign partners [[link removed]] , and sign the redistribution pledge. [[link removed]]

This Fall, RG will reiterate a banner theme of ‘Skill Up, Spend Down.’ As a non-wealthy (advocate) staff member who’s admired RG’s work locally and nationally since 2017, I continue to get clearer and clearer that RG is consistently embodying this by politicizing responsible donors who show up with dignity, accountability and a commitment to large-scale redistribution. I’m excited to invite you into this season of learning, organizing, and resourcing social movements together.
I n solidarity,
Valeriya, Julia & the rest of the RG team
