GSF seeks to amplify the visions and voices of leaders who are advancing a bold vision for a just world. We have shifted away from issue-specific funding toward a grantmaking program that takes a more holistic approach to supporting organizations that contribute to a broad, sustainable, intersectional movement for justice. Within this movement, we are committed to resourcing work led by communities most impacted by injustice because we believe they have the deepest wisdom about the changes that are needed. We prioritize support for organizations that undertake their work through both a racial justice and gender justice lens. We are particularly interested in supporting strategies that include visionary organizing, alliance-building, cultural and narrative work, and/or leadership development efforts.

In our transition to this new grantmaking framework, we remain committed to supporting many of GSF’s longtime grantees. As such, our portfolio will initially be deepest in organizations working on economic and reproductive justice.

For organizations new to GSF, grants are typically in the range of $20,000 - $35,000 annually. For renewing grantees, grants average $35,000 . We will consider requests up to $75,000 annually for ongoing partners (though it is unusual for us to make grants of this larger size) and there is potential for funding technical support and special projects. Because this program is designed around long-term collaboration, we are able to accept only a few new grantees each year.
