Overview
This grant would continue support for two key components of the Tides Center's Reproductive Justice Initiative. The Reproductive Justice Fund enables several larger organizations that are led by and for women of color -such as California Latinas for Reproductive Justice and Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice-to expand their grassroots organizing, advocacy, and infrastructure. The Catalyst Fund provides matching challenge grants to a number of smaller similar organizations whose work includes reproductive rights for communities of color. These investments are central to one of our Program's domestic strategy goals: diversifying the pro-choice movement to increase its impact and better attract and serve women who are most likely to have unplanned pregnancies and abortions. Over the past two years, organizations supported by these funds have made important contributions to a number of policy advances and increased their organizational effectiveness-largely through Tides' technical and financial support.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the LeaderSpring Center
LeaderSpring, a fiscally sponsored project of the Tides Center, invests in supporting and developing leaders in the Bay Area. It seeks to foster a powerful, equity-driven social sector by strengthening leaders and organizations, developing communities of leaders, and transforming the systems in which they work. This support will enable LeaderSpring to deepen its efforts to shift organizational culture and structures to oppose and dismantle systems of oppression.
for the Climate and Community Project's work on Community Benefit Agreements in a Just Transition
The Climate and Community Project is fiscally sponsored by the Tides Center. The project is a network of academics and policy experts conducting research at the climate and inequality nexus. This grant will fund a project to explore the potential of community benefit agreements (CBAs) to support a just transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The goal is to produce a policy-oriented report and an environmental justice CBA toolkit that will examine what kinds of benefits negotiated agreements may offer to frontline communities, as well as potential shortcomings and unintended consequences of such accords.

This grant supports Mosaic, a project of the Tides Center, in its efforts to strengthen the infrastructure of the environmental community by investing in communications, leadership development, tools and training, field knowledge, and building relationships between organizations and communities.
