Solidaire

Solidaire's Movement Infrastructure Fund supports work that provides  long-term scaffolding for movement organizations and formations to  transform what’s possible.

The Movement Infrastructure Fund invests in bold visions that are often overlooked and underfunded. Supporting work that is led by those most impacted by injustice, the Movement Infrastructure Fund invests in movements that work to dismantle and disrupt extractive, exploitative, and oppressive systems.

We seek imaginative, creative solutions that lift human dignity and  agency. We believe there is no shortage of grassroots genius, innovation  and agency. What is missing is the right investment in the long-term infrastructure that movements need to win.

Examples of movement infrastructure include buildings and land, new incorporations or entities, democratic governance structures, expertise  and skill building, system development and sustained people power. We  also welcome participatory research projects that are led by/informed by  folks directly impacted and which look to create or invest more deeply  in movement infrastructure projects with broad impact.

To be eligible:

• Work should be led by the most directly impacted people working on the front lines.
• Grant requests may be to support time bound work for a 12-24 month period or for multi year support (3-5 years)
• Organizations or groups must have an organizational budget under $3mil. Grants can support C3, C4, LLCs, and other vehicles.
• Grants will range in size from $20,000 – $200,000.
