Overview
Amalgamated Foundation is an independent nonprofit public charity committed to positive social change. The foundation offers a suite of services to facilitate the philanthropy of individual donors, institutional funders, and social entrepreneurs who share its commitment to social change. This program grant will support the Democracy Frontlines Fund (DFF), a collective giving and learning community that will resource and be in relationship with Black-led organizers. The DFF slate includes national organizations building sustainable local power. These groups are in partnership with one another and are committed to reimagining safety, amplifying the voices of disenfranchised voters, and prioritizing leadership roles among Black, LGBTQI, youth, disabled, undocumented, and formerly incarcerated individuals and communities. The DFF slate illustrates that change happens at the speed of trust and no organization can effectively tackle society’s problems without including those disproportionately hit.

Grants to this Grantee
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.
