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 diverse 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.

The Families and Workers Fund, a project of the Amalgamated Foundation, has launched the Powering Good Climate and Infrastructure Careers Fund to ensure that the workforce components of implementation of U.S. federal climate investment laws succeed.
