Public Newsroom 70: Fundraising Alternatives for Grassroots Orgs

6:00 pm — 8:00 pm

Besides traditional philanthropy, how do you raise money for grassroots organizations? How do we do the work across race and class to fundraise movements for justice? This week at the Public Newsroom, guests from local grantmaking organization Crossroads Fund will lead participants through a series of activities to begin to answer those questions. We’ll kick off the evening by breaking down strategies for grassroots funding. Attendees will then use those skills to practice making in-person asks. Feel free to bring your own funding initiatives for feedback! In addition to Crossroads Fund staff, alumni of their Giving Project will also present on this collective fundraising program. The Giving Project has helped raise more than $260,000 for grants in the past three years.
