This fund is for Black-led and Black-serving organizations building regional solidarity economy ecosystems that are controlled and governed by the very people they serve.
We fund projects from housing, schools, farms and food production, local governance structures, art and culture, to healthcare and healing, and transportation.
In our vision, regional solidarity economy ecosystems are essential building blocks for liberation in our lifetimes.
If this sounds like your work, we encourage you to apply. Applications close November 3, 2025.
The Black Solidarity Economy Fund will strive to meet the ever-evolving needs of communities impacted by racialized environmental, public health, legal, and economic oppression by redistributing $50k in rapid response funds to nonprofit organizations, entities, and collectives.
The Black Solidarity Economy Rapid Response Fund is available to organizations facing live and potential risks until December 12, 2025. The fund will reopen in 2026.
