Seeding The Movement Fund Grantees Published on May 3, 2023

The Peace Development Fund is thrilled to announce our latest grants—we’re supporting 22
organizations in every region of the US and Haiti and Mexico through the Seeding the Movement Fund.
Seeding the Movement Fund grants support grassroots organizing led by people from their communities.
Several of the grants are renewals, reflecting our commitment to investing in the ongoing work of
transformative grassroots organizing. This is important to ensure the success and sustainability of start-up
organizations.
Organizing for justice involves a myriad of issues with the recognition that oppression is interconnected.
This year’s grantees are organizing around environmental issues, economic inequity and labor rights,
racial justice and Indigenous rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and women’s issues. They are on the frontlines of
change in this country.
Later this month, more than a dozen of these grantees will participate in Grassroots Funding Week. GFW
is an opportunity to increase their grants and build their capacity to run crowd-funding campaigns. Each
day we will highlight several organizations and invite our donors to support them. Last year we were able
to raise more than $28,000 to add to our grants to participating organizations. We look forward to working together to build their capacity during GFW.
