Solidaire Network

About Solidaire Network

Solidaire Network Inc’s recent giving is built around movement infrastructure: unrestricted support, fiscal sponsorship, and pooled funds for social justice organizing. A notable pattern in the grant list is multi-year support for large intermediaries and movement funds, including $555,000 to Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples for general support over two years and $500,000 to Global Fund for Women for a fiscally sponsored project, Black Feminist Fund, over two years. The foundation also backs movement-centered funds that channel resources onward, such as $500,000 to Thousand Currents for the CLIMA Fund and $500,000 to Groundswell Fund, both for general support over two years. Its portfolio reflects a preference for organizations that support other organizers as much as direct service groups. Recent grants include support for trans justice grantmaking, disability justice funding, Black liberation infrastructure, and Indigenous-led organizing. Solidaire Network Inc also funds projects housed at fiscal sponsors, which shows a recurring use of intermediary partners to move resources into grassroots work. Across the latest grants, the emphasis is less on one-off program awards than on sustained organizational and field support for groups advancing racial justice, climate justice, gender justice, and land justice.

What Solidaire Network Funds

Black liberation work appears through support for funding intermediaries and pooled funds. In 2023, Solidaire Network Inc gave $200,000 to Common Counsel Foundation for the fiscally sponsored project Movement for Black Lives, and the broader platform includes a Black Liberation Pooled Fund focused on Black liberation and movement building. Trans and gender-expansive organizing also shows up directly. The foundation gave $313,000 to Trans Justice Funding Project for charitable project support toward grantmaking to nonprofit grassroots trans justice groups in the United States, including U.S. territories. It also gave $115,000 to Transgender Advocates Knowledgeable Empowering (TAKE Resource Center). Food and land justice are visible in grants to Black Farmer Fund Inc for the NY Black Food Ecosystem: Creating a Racially Just, Regenerative Food System and to La Plazita Institute for the EBP+ Collaborative. Climate and Indigenous action appear in support for Taproot Earth and Indigenous Environmental Network.
