Overview
Communities First Fund, a project of the Amalgamated Foundation, seeks to transform how federal, state, and local governments invest public dollars in Black, Indigenous, People of Color and low-wealth communities. This grant will fund regional convenings — bringing together federal, state, tribal, and local leaders to support the coordination and equitable implementation of climate-related federal funding. These regional convenings will provide capacity, technical assistance, guidance, and pre-development support for community plans. (Substrategy: U.S. National Policy)

for support of the Groundwork Fund  
The Groundwork Fund, a fiscally sponsored project of the Amalgamated Foundation, supports local community organizers working in overlooked regions of the country — the Deep South, Appalachia, and the Plains. Working closely with partners on the ground, Groundwork aims to support frontline organizing, shift civic narratives, and develop local civic leaders. Groundwork believes that local grassroots organizing is the most effective way to build power for those historically excluded and to secure justice, equity, and democracy for all. This support will position Groundwork to deepen its efforts.
