They prioritize Indigenous-led, rural, queer, immigrant/tenant, and environmental justice movements and favor projects that increase inclusiveness, equity, and community power.

Funding targets grassroots and community-based groups, often through programmatic grants and subgranting relationships; grants require a signed agreement.
