Most equity and justice funders pick a lane: domestic policy or international advocacy. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund's Democratic Practice program bridges both, funding citizen organizing and policy work that connects local movements to transnational governance.

What we know: This program funds analysis, communication, and citizen organizing around global challenges at the intersection of environment, economy, and social justice. The fund prioritizes organizations led by or accountable to people in the Global South. Foundation-wide, RBF's giving leans heavily toward large, established policy and environmental organizations, with significant concentration among intermediaries and university-affiliated recipients.
Realistic fit: Well-networked policy or advocacy organizations with existing infrastructure for transnational organizing, particularly those with Global South leadership.
Two things to confirm before writing: RBF does not publish grant amounts or deadlines for this program, so reach out to program staff to understand typical award size and review timeline. The fund explicitly excludes individual academic research and university fellowships.
